What is OTT file?
The .OTT file is an OpenDocument Template document generated using LibreOffice Writer. These files contain page setup information and can include fonts, macros, and styles, among other formatting preferences. They are created as a blank document that serves as the basis for new documents with the exact same layout and formatting. This type of file is also used by other software such as Open Office and Apple Pages. [ ⏩ ] OTT file extension

Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from OTT to DOT?
To successfully convert the OTT file to DOT, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.OTT). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case DOT (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than DOT).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. OTT to DOT. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting OTT files to DOT files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension DOT, while before this step we had the OTT file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new DOT file, or not.
