RTF In its original conception, the .rtf format was a specification for formatting text and graphics principally designed to facilitate the interoperability of documents and text between Microsoft document processing applications. It eliminated the need for specialized translation software required to open documents in different versions of MS-DOS, Windows, and Macintosh. The specification is a proprietary filename format first developed by Microsoft in 1987 to be supported in Microsoft word 3.0 and all versions of Microsoft Office Word thereof. The latest revision, version 1.9.1, was released in 2008 and also marked the end of any further enhancements to the specification by Microsoft. Through unformatted text, control words, control symbols, and groups, a piece of text can be encoded into an .rtf format. All RTF readers then process .rtf formats by separating and acting on control information disparately from the actual text in the document. Though the RTF specification is proprietary asset of Microsoft, several non-Microsoft programs support both reading .rtf documents and creating .rtf. Microsoft Office Suite is still however the most dominant application associated with this specification.
ODT The Open Document Text filename extension format is an alternative open source document and text processing file format allowing users to create text documents that can be opened and edited by an extensive list of document processing applications. Both proprietary applications (such as in Microsoft Office word) and open source document processing applications (such as OpenOffice) support the .odt filename extension allowing for interoperability between software systems. The format is useful to those creating documents meant to target a wide audience and not necessarily an audience with a specific document processing suite. The extension was first released in 2005.

Extended ASCII, PC-8, and ANSI are among the original character control sets used in the formatting and text representation of documents saved in the .rtf format. At present the format supports 7-bit ASCII characters. This formally allows the easy transfer of text documents between different computers running different operating systems and applications. RTF requires minimal computer resources and does not support macros. It does however have support for embedding some of the popular graphical format such as JPEG and PNG. Not all applications have support for these embedded graphical format thus .rtf files with unsupported embedded graphical images will open but will not display the graphical images.

Extended from an XML based file format for documents, .odt was standardized as an open source format for text document processing in ISO/IEC 26300:2006 in 2005 by the OASIS consortium. The filename extension is primarily associated with Apache OpenOffice Suite. As a format, .odt supports several predefined and user customizable metadata fields such as document statistics, title, subject etc. It possesses advanced document processing capabilities such as lists, headings, and numbered paragraphs. Other features include auto generated tables such as bibliographies, indexes, and table of contents.
