Generating the Report
Generating Report in OpenOffice Presentation Document
Creating the Template
OpenDocument Text (ODT) is a word processing document format which can be used as an alternative to Microsoft Word Document (DOC/DOCX) formats. Since ODT is not a Microsoft Proprietary format, there are multiple software (including Microsoft Office and Apache OpenOffice) available to create, open, edit and save this format. For more information on the available software to work with ODT, please visit wikipedia article.
In this topic, we’ll not reinvent the wheel to recreate a template for generating a report in ODT format. Instead, we’ll save the existing template to ODT format using Microsoft Office. In order to achieve this; assuming you are using Microsoft Office 2010, please follow below steps:
- Open existing template we created in previous topic.
- Click “File” and select “Save As”.
- Select “OpenDocument Text” from “Save As Type” drop down.
- Click “Save”.
