DOC vs ODT
DOC
A DOC file is the older, legacy Microsoft Word format (Word 97-2003), stored as a proprietary binary format. Still shows up in old archives and email attachments, but Word itself has defaulted to DOCX since 2007.
Used in: Legacy Word documents · Old email attachments
ODT
An ODT file is the OpenDocument Text format — an open, non-proprietary standard used by LibreOffice, OpenOffice, and other free office suites as their native format.
Used in: LibreOffice & OpenOffice · Open-standard documents
