An FODT file is associated with the OASIS Open Document Text (ODT) format, and the “F” in FODT stands for “Flat.” This indicates that the document is in a flat XML format, making it easier to process programmatically.
How to open an FODT file:
1. LibreOffice or Apache OpenOffice:
- LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice are open-source office suites that support the ODF (Open Document Format) standard, including ODT files. They can open and edit FODT files.
2. Microsoft Word:
- Microsoft Word, part of the Microsoft Office suite, may be able to open ODT files. However, since FODT files are in a flat XML format, compatibility may vary.
