I receive files from another source who uses .odt file system. The text portion of the file will open but there is an embedded logo on the document that will not show up or print. I am using Microsoft Office 11 for Mac. When i open the attachment that is sent to me in an email, the attachment opens in Text Editor or Preview. Any ideas out there? Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
ODT stands for Open Document Text. Get LibreOffice for Mac

As Alberto says .odt is Open Document Text. Libra Office is the best choice for an application on your Mac to open these. However another option is to use Google Docs online via a web-browser.
What is really, really annoying is that Office for Windows can open these files itself, but Microsoft as part of their long standing persecution of Mac users do not let Office for Mac do the same. 😠
Yes, understand what the .odt file system is. I am wondering though, as i have MS Office for Mac installed on my Mac Mini and MBP I presume that if i download and install Libreoffice there may be a conflict. Do agree with my assumption? Thank you for your reply. I've been a Windows user for a good long while and have been involved with Mac for about 3 yrs now and am still learning the ropes.
I Honestly do not know....in answer to your question. I have not used Windows for over 10 years, so I would be guessing.

Hi imabuku99.
There won't be any sort of conflict. They can live happily side by side. Most of the programs you find for Macintosh require a drag and drop action to install them. LibreOffice is one of the kind. There is no voodoo operations happening behind the scene, like writing the registry or putting conflicting DLLs in system areas. You don't even need to type in administrator's password. If you are the only user of your computers I suggest to create inside your home folder, a folder named Applications. Drag and drop inside the new Application folder LibreOffice and double click its icon. You'll see for a few seconds, and only for the first time, the following window
that is normal. Is Gatekeeper doing its job. After the verification OS X will be asking you whether you want to open LibreOffice
Last but not least. Always get programs from the original developer site.
How do i open .odt files on my mac mine or MB Pro
