LibreOffice saves files in the Adobe OpenDocument format (ODF), which is an open and ISO-standardized format. This format ensures that LibreOffice always has access to the data. You can also encrypt your documents with a password. When LibreOffice Writer saves a document, it is saved in the ODF format.
To save a document in DOCX format, follow these steps:
- In the Save As dialog box, select the file type.
- For example, you can save a document in the .docx format as a Word 97-2003 document in the .doc format, so that users with older versions of Word can open it.
You can also save the file in any other format by going to the File menu, selecting Save As, and choosing whether to create a copy of the file in another location on OneDrive or to download a copy of the document in DOCX, PDF, or ODT format to your computer.
The original OpenOffice programs include:
- Writer, which is similar to Word and saves files in the .ODT format.
- Calc, which is the equivalent of Microsoft Excel and saves files in various formats.
