Move a legacy Word DOC file into the open ODT standard used by LibreOffice and OpenOffice, freeing old documents from Microsoft formats. LibreOffice can open .doc directly, but converting makes ODT the actual storage format instead of a compatibility view.

Why convert DOC to ODT?
- Meet procurement rules in ODF-mandated administrations that reject editable Microsoft formats.
- Archive for the long term - ODT is ISO/IEC 26300 with a public specification, unlike the reverse-engineered binary DOC.
- Collaborate with LibreOffice and OpenOffice users without a format-compatibility warning on every save.
Tip: Field codes, form controls, and WordArt-style decorations map least cleanly between Word and Writer - skim documents that lean on them after converting.
