Will Word open the converted file without issues?

Yes. The DOCX output opens natively in Microsoft Word, Google Docs and Microsoft 365 with formatting preserved — no more "unsupported file type" message that you can hit when trying to open a raw ODT in Word.

What is lost when converting ODT to DOCX?

Both are full-featured document formats, so text, styles, tables, lists and images convert cleanly. A few ODT-specific extras — certain field types, advanced list numbering or embedded LibreOffice macros — may not have an exact DOCX equivalent.

Are my headings, styles and table of contents kept?

Yes. Paragraph styles, heading levels and an automatic table of contents carry across, so the document keeps its structure and you can still update the contents list in Word after converting.

Do images and tables survive the conversion?

Yes. Embedded pictures, charts and tables are preserved in place with their sizing and captions, so the layout of a report or CV looks the same once it is opened in Word.

Are tracked changes and comments preserved?

Yes. Revision marks and margin comments in the ODT are mapped to their DOCX equivalents, so a collaborative document keeps its review history when you hand it to a Word user.

Why convert instead of just renaming the file?

Renaming an .odt to .docx does not work — the internal formats are different, and Word will refuse the file or open it garbled. A real conversion rewrites the document structure so it is a valid DOCX.

Do I need LibreOffice or Word installed?

No. The conversion runs on the server, so you only need a browser to upload the ODT and download the DOCX — nothing to install, on any operating system.
