Do tracked changes convert?

Yes, ODT change tracking becomes Word tracked changes.

What about form fields and macros?

Form controls are converted where Word has an equivalent; LibreOffice Basic macros are not carried over.

Can I convert the other way?

Why convert ODT to Word (DOCX)

Word opens ODT, but its import is imperfect: numbering restarts, tables lose widths, footnotes shift. Converting with the engine that wrote the ODT produces a cleaner DOCX.

Styles are mapped to Word styles by name, so the document stays editable with proper headings rather than direct formatting.

Check the file list; remove anything you added by mistake.
Press Convert. The file is uploaded securely, converted, and the result is offered for download.

About the formats

ODT · OpenDocument text · .odt

The open document format used by LibreOffice and OpenOffice Writer, and required by several governments for public documents.

ODT is an ISO standard (ISO 26300) and fully documented, unlike DOC.
Word can open and save ODT, but complex formatting may shift.
Like DOCX, an ODT file is a ZIP archive containing XML.

Word (DOCX) · Microsoft Word document · .docx

The current Word format (since 2007): a ZIP of XML files that Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice and Pages can all open and edit.

DOCX layout depends on the fonts installed on the viewing computer, which is why the same file can paginate differently on another machine.
Converting to PDF freezes the layout so it looks the same everywhere.
DOCX is part of the Office Open XML standard (ISO 29500).
