How to open file with .FODT extension?

Don’t you know what program to use to convert the .FODT file? Do you want to convert a .FODT file into a different format? Below you will find helpful information.

File extension .FODT

Full Name Developer Category
OpenDocument Flat XML Document Format Oracle Text Files
.FODT

The FODT file extension or OpenDocument Flat XML Document is used with portable document software such as LibreOffice, OpenOffice.org, StarOffice, IBM Lotus Symphony. It is based on the Open Office XML format and is associated with certain types of documents created in this particular software. It is an open standard that was developed by the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS Interchange Format Committee) as a substitute for proprietary formats like DOCX, PPTX, XLSX.

Sub-Format of ODF Document

The FODT file extension can be thought of as a sub-format of the Document Type (.ODT), which stands for Open Document Format. The FODT follows an open flat XML (eXtensible Markup Language) format that is composed of multiple XML elements and attributes describing a text document’s structure and content. FODT files are stored in the Zip container format with a MIME type (most commonly 'application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text'). This sub-format was created to provide interoperability between applications that use the ZIP container format.

Embed Graphics, Charts, Tables and Other Objects

One benefit of this file extension is that it lets users embed graphics, charts, tables and other objects within the text document. This makes the creation of more complex documents easier and faster. Additionally, FODT files are also smaller than their.ODT counterparts because they do not contain numerical data such as fonts, formatting attributes and other elements that are needed to render the entire document in an application. This results in a much smaller file size compared to other similar file extensions such as DOCX, GDOC, RTF, etc.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .FODT) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .FODT extension.

When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.

Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .FODT file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .FODT extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .FODT extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .FODT file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.

Other instructions

If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .FODT file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.

In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .FODT file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .FODT file) will be extended to the maximum.

It is also good to check

  • if the .FODT file has no errors
  • or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
In such a case it is best to try to download the .FODT file again from the same source on the Internet (or look for another source). If you received the file from another person, ask this person to re-send it. However, if the file was copied from some media, repeat the copying operation.
