Sources of ODT Problems


Common Problems Opening ODT Files

Missing Apache OpenOffice

When trying to open your ODT file, you get the error "Can't Open ODT File Type". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Apache OpenOffice for %%os%% installed on your computer. Your operating system cannot associate your ODT with Apache OpenOffice, so double-clicking the file won't work.


Tip: If you have another software that you know opens ODT files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


Wrong Version of Apache OpenOffice is Installed

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Apache OpenOffice installed that's incompatible with your OpenDocument Text Document type. You will need to download a newer version of Apache OpenOffice if you don't have the right version. Most of the time your OpenDocument Text Document file was created by a newer Apache OpenOffice than what you have installed.


Tip: Investigate your ODT file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


Primarily, problems experienced when opening ODT files are due to having the incorrect version of Apache OpenOffice installed on your computer.


Additional ODT Opening Issues

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Apache OpenOffice will resolve your issue. If you're still experiencing problems opening ODT files, there could be other computer problems. Other contributing causes:

  • Windows Registry ODT file paths that are incorrect
  • Mistaken removal of the Windows registry ODT description
  • Partial installation of Apache OpenOffice that did not fully complete
  • Your ODT can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
  • The ODT is infected with a virus
  • Device drivers for ODT-related hardware are out-of-date
  • Insufficient system resources to successfully open OpenDocument Text Document files
