What is a .ODM file?
Everything worth knowing about OpenOffice.org OpenDocument global text document file files.
An .ODM file is an OpenDocument Master Document, which is a text file format developed by OASIS. It is used to organize and link multiple sub-documents into a single larger document structure. These files are typically opened and edited using office suites such as Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice.

Is my .ODM file uploaded anywhere?
No. Your .ODM file is read and converted for you. The first time, a small open-source conversion component is downloaded and then cached.
Why does my older .ODM file look plain?
Some older word-processor files keep their formatting in a complex binary layout. The viewer shows all the text and tables reliably; richer formatting for those files is coming with server-side conversion.
Are macros in a .ODM file safe here?
Yes. The viewer never runs macros. It only reads the document text, styles and images, and tells you when a file contains macros.
Can I edit my .ODM file?
This is a viewer. You can copy the text or save it as HTML/TXT and edit it elsewhere. An online editor is on our roadmap.
It says my .ODM file is something else. Why?
We check the file's signature, not just its name. If a file was renamed, the viewer tells you what it really is and which tool opens it.
