QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert ODG to DOC?
No - not a direct conversion.

Export the ODG from LibreOffice Draw as PNG or PDF, then insert that image into a Word document. Alternatively, copy text from individual text boxes in the drawing and paste it into Word manually. No tool produces a usable DOC directly from a drawing file.

Why convert ODG to DOC?

ODG (OpenDocument Graphics, ISO/IEC 26300, 2005) is a ZIP-based XML package storing shapes, paths, lines, and text boxes at arbitrary canvas coordinates. DOC (Microsoft Word OLE2 binary, 1997) holds flowing paragraphs with styles and page layout. Drawing geometry has no mapping to word-processor content - forcing one into the other destroys the source material.

How to convert ODG to DOC

LibreOffice Draw FREE

Open the .odg in LibreOffice Draw and use File > Export As > PNG or PDF. Insert the exported image or PDF page into your Word document - the drawing stays visually intact inside the .doc.

Quality & what to watch

  • Any online tool claiming to convert ODG to DOC either fails silently or outputs garbled content - no real conversion exists.
  • Microsoft Word cannot open .odg files directly; LibreOffice Draw is required to open the file before exporting to a format Word accepts.
  • If the drawing contains text you need in Word, open the .odg in LibreOffice Draw and copy text from each text box manually into your document.

Frequently asked questions

Is there any converter that turns ODG into DOC?
No real one - ODG holds a vector drawing and DOC holds prose; export to PNG or PDF and insert into Word instead.
Can Microsoft Word open an ODG file directly?
No - Word does not support ODG; open the file in LibreOffice Draw and export to PDF, PNG, or SVG first.
I just need the text from the ODG - how do I get it into Word?
Open the .odg in LibreOffice Draw, click each text box, and copy the text manually into your Word document.
