What is an OTT file?

An OTT file is a document template created by the LibreOffice Writer and Apache OpenOffice Writer word processors. It stores predefined page layouts, fonts, and styles in the OpenDocument format, allowing users to quickly generate new .ODT documents with consistent formatting.

LibreOffice Writer and Apache OpenOffice Writer come with premade templates and allow users to create their own. The templates serve as a starting point for creating documents with a uniform appearance, such as company letterheads, memos, newsletters, cover letters, and business plans. After making necessary edits, users can save their documents as ODT, .DOCX, or other formats for sharing or printing.

In OpenOffice Writer, users can download additional templates from the OpenOffice website by navigating to File → New → Templates and Documents and selecting "Get more templates online...". This feature helps streamline document creation for professional and casual users' needs.

NOTE: OTT files conform to the OpenDocument standard (ODF) standard maintained by the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS).

How to open an OTT file

You can open OTT files with various word processors, including OpenOffice Writer (cross-platform), LibreOffice Writer (cross-platform), Planamesa NeOffice (macOS), and Collabora Office (multiplatform).

When opening an OTT file in a program other than LibreOffice Writer or OpenOffice Writer, some formatting may be lost.

  • .ODT - OpenDocument Text Document
