• The WordPad editor in Windows 7 includes support for ODF.

There are OpenDocument-oriented libraries available for languages such as Java, Python, Ruby, C++ and C#. OpenDoc Society maintains an extensive list of ODF software libraries for OpenDocument Format.

OpenDocument packages are ordinary zip files. There is an OpenDocument format which is just a single XML file, but most applications use the package format. Thus, any of the vast number of tools for handling zip files and XML data can be used to handle OpenDocument. Nearly all programming languages have libraries (built-in or available) for processing XML files and zip files.

Microsoft has been offering native support for ODF since Office 2007 Service Pack 2.{{cite web|url=http://betanews.com/2008/05/21/next-office-2007-service-pack-will-include-odf-pdf-support-options/|publisher=Betanews|title=Next Office 2007 Service Pack will include ODF PDF Support options|date=2 May 2008|access-date=8 December 2011|archive-date=17 September 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110917085459/http://betanews.com/2008/05/21/next-office-2007-service-pack-will-include-odf-pdf-support-options/|url-status=live}} Microsoft is hosting the 8th ODF Plugfest in Brussels in 2012.

OpenOpenOffice was developed by Phase-n, a free and open source software plug-in to enable Microsoft Office to read and write OpenDocument files (and any other formats supported by OpenOffice.org). Instead of installing a complete office application or even a large plug-in, O3 intended to install a tiny plug-in to the Microsoft Office system. This tiny plug-in intended to automatically send the file to some server, which would then do the conversion, returning the converted file. The server could be local to an organization (so private information doesn't go over the Internet) or accessed via the Internet (for those who do not want to set up a server). A beta of the server half has been completed, and further expected announcements have not occurred. Phase-n argued that the main advantage of their approach is simplicity. Their websitehttp://o3.phase-n.com/ {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061224112416/http://o3.phase-n.com/ |date=24 December 2006 }} announces that O3 "requires no new concepts to be explored, no significant development, and leverages the huge existing body of work already created by the OpenOffice developers, the CPAN module authors, and the Microsoft .NET and Office teams. They also argue that this approach significantly simplifies maintenance; when a new version of OpenOffice is released, only the server needs to be upgraded.

This is because the formulas used to perform calculations within a spreadsheet (e.g., adding numbers in a column of cells) are simply removed in MS Excel 2007. Instead of performing the calculations, what is left is when the spreadsheet is loaded in MS Excel 2007 is the last value that cell had, when previously saved. The same test spreadsheet, when loaded and saved in all the other applications besides MS Excel 2007 (e.g., between KSpread and Google Docs), does process correctly. Most other ODF spreadsheet applications are able to interoperate just fine. The correct approach would have been for Microsoft to do the same to ensure that MS Office users can share spreadsheets with other ODF-supporting office suites.

As a result of this project, Microsoft financed the ODF add-in for Word project on SourceForge.

One important issue raised in the discussion of OpenDocument is whether the format is accessible to those with disabilities. There are two issues: does the specification support accessibility, and are implementations accessible?

While the specification of OpenDocument is going through an extensive accessibility review, many of the components it is built on (such as SMIL for audio and multimedia and SVG for vector graphics) have already gone through the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)'s Web Accessibility Initiative processes.

There are already applications that currently read/write OpenDocument that export Tagged PDF files (to support PDF accessibility); this suggests that much or all of the necessary data for accessibility is already included in the OpenDocument format.

The OASIS OpenDocument technical committee released a draft of OpenDocument 1.1 on 27 July 2006, for public comment through 25 September 2006.{{Cite web |url=http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/office/email/archives/200607/msg00114.html |title=www.oasis-open.org |access-date=3 August 2006 |archive-date=13 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230813131603/https://www.oasis-open.org//login?back=https%3a%2f%2foasis.kavi.com%2fapps%2forg%2fworkgroup%2foffice%2femail%2farchives%2f200607%2fmsg00114.html |url-status=live }}

This is a minor update to the specification to add accessibility information, mainly soft page break markings, table header markings, presentation navigation markings, alternative text and captions, and specifically stating that spreadsheets may be embedded in presentations.

Peter Korn (an accessibility expert) reviewed version 1.1 "to satisfy myself that all of our accessibility concerns have been addressed", and declared "I am so satisfied."{{Cite web |url=http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/office/email/archives/200607/msg00089.html |title=www.oasis-open.org |access-date=3 August 2006 |archive-date=13 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230813131604/https://www.oasis-open.org//login?back=https%3a%2f%2foasis.kavi.com%2fapps%2forg%2fworkgroup%2foffice%2femail%2farchives%2f200607%2fmsg00089.html |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |url=http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/office-accessibility/download.php/19301/ODF-v1.1-draft7_a11y_requirements_review.odt |title=ODF-v1.1-draft7_a11y_requirements_review.odt |access-date=3 August 2006 |archive-date=13 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230813131605/https://www.oasis-open.org//login?back=https%3a%2f%2foasis.kavi.com%2fapps%2forg%2fworkgroup%2foffice-accessibility%2fdownload.php%2f19301%2fODF-v1.1-draft7_a11y_requirements_review.odt |url-status=live }}

}} on OpenDocument accessibility. He noted that there are many kinds of impairments, including visual (minor, major, or blind), physical (minor, major with vocal control, major without vocal control), auditory, and cognitive. He then noted that the situation varies, depending on the specific disability. For a vast number of disabilities, there are no known problems, though.

• OpenOffice is expected to work well with existing solutions in MS Windows' on-screen keyboards (etc.) when driven by single-switch access, head-mouse, and eye-gaze systems. On Unix-like systems, GNOME's "On-screen Keyboard" can be used. Also available on both Linux and Windows systems is Dasher, a text-entry alternative released under the GPL for head-mouse and eye-gaze users (35+ word-per-minute typing speeds using nothing but eye movement are possible).
• If those with disabilities are already using Microsoft Office, then a plug-in enabling them to load and save OpenDocument files using Microsoft Office may give them the same capabilities they already have (assuming the opening/saving cycle is accessible). So from that perspective, OpenDocument is at least as accessible as Microsoft Office.
• For users using alternatives to Microsoft Office there may be problems, not necessarily due to the ODF file format but rather due to the lower investment to date by assistive technology vendors on these platforms, though there is ongoing work. For example, IBM has stated that its "Workplace productivity tools available through Workplace Managed Client including word processing, spreadsheet and presentation editors are currently planned to be fully accessible on a Windows platform by 2007. Additionally, these productivity tools are currently planned to be fully accessible on a Linux platform by 2008" (Sutor, 10 November 2005).

Since OpenDocument is an Open Standard file format, there is no need for everyone to use the same program to read and write OpenDocument files; someone with a disability is free to use whatever program works best for them.
