    -1 for obviously doubleposting, not providing any clarification of whether you indeed have an ods or an odt document and not indicating that you have put any research effort into this.

There's a quite useful tool to convert .odt files (assuming your goal is converting .odt instead of .ods to .docx) - it's called LibreOffice. LO has a command line interface, allowing for file conversions without opening the .odt file in the LO GUI.



Here's an extract showing the required command line parameter `--convert-to`` (for LibreOffice 5.1.6):



$ soffice -h
LibreOffice 5.1.6.2 10m0(Build:2)

Usage: soffice [options] [documents...]

Options:

(...)

--convert-to output_file_extension[:output_filter_name[:output_filter_options]] [--outdir output_dir] files
Batch convert files (implies --headless).
If --outdir is not specified then current working dir is used as output_dir.
Eg. --convert-to pdf *.doc
--convert-to pdf:writer_pdf_Export --outdir /home/user *.doc
--convert-to "html:XHTML Writer File:UTF8" *.doc
--convert-to "txt:Text (encoded):UTF8" *.doc

(...)

Remaining arguments will be treated as filenames or URLs of documents to open.


Just use docx as output filter name.



So,



soffice --convert-to docx file.odt


would convert the file file.odt to file.docx (the parameter --headless isn't required any more).



Important: the command line command works only if there's no other LO instance running. So, make sure to exit LO before issuing the command.
