Review

VisiooWriter is a viewer designed to visualize and print the files implemented with the OpenDocument and OpenOffice.org standards, without the need of installing the applications that use these formats. These standards usually are used in documents with the odt and swx file extensions.

Its use is very simple, just click on the Open button and select the odt or swx file that is required to be visualized. With this, Visioo shows the selected file content inside your window. Visioo also adds an option named View to the contextual menu which appears by right clicking over an odt or swx file; so it can also be activated this way. Once the document has been opened, besides of visualizing it, the user can print it or export it to other formats (txt and doc, tested).

In order to work, it also opens a Tiny Phyton instance that, at least on the Windows version, remains open as command line while the program is being used.

The disadvantage of this viewer is that its visualizing capability is limited practically to the text, without showing images nor observing the layout, as it can be seen in the screenshots. The same happens when printing or exporting it.

This program's ccurrent version is 0.6.1.1 and, as the authors states, it has the objective of making the transition of proprietary formats (such as the ones of MS Office) to the open documents format easier . VisiooWriter is available in many languages and for the three most common platforms: Windows, MacOS and Linux.
Advantages
  • Free, simple, easy to use.
Disadvantages
  • Very limited visualizing, printing and exporting capabilities.
  • It does not keep the layout nor the images included in the original document.
