=== Converting text files (LibreOffice) ===
=== Converting text files (LibreOffice) ===
The formats that LibreOffice saves files conform to the ‘Open Document Format’ for text (.odt or open document text), spreadsheet (.ods or open document spreadsheet), and presentation (.odp or open document presentation). You can convert a document which is in another format into these formats by simply opening the document in LibreOffice and then using <u>File → Save As</u> to save in these open formats. You can, for instance, open a Word document in a docx format, in LibreOffice Writer and then 'save as' odt. You can thus use LibreOffice to convert files in text formats.

You can also save a LibreOffice file as a web page (html format). A file saved as a web page can be opened by a web browser.
You can also save a LibreOffice file as a PDF. The PDF format has two advantages, printing it will give the same hard copy as the soft copy. Secondly, it can be read on all systems, since the fonts are stored with the file. This is particularly useful in case where certain fonts, not available on all computers are used (such as non-UNICODE fonts), saving and sharing in PDF format will allow it to be read by others in their computers.
All these format changes can be done in the LibreOffice [https://libreoffice.org/discover/writer/ Writer], [https://libreoffice.org/discover/calc Calc] and [https://libreoffice.org/discover/calc/ Impress] applications.
