What is an OTH file

OTH files mostly belong to OpenOffice/StarOffice by Sun Microsystems, Inc. This file format is part of the Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) 1.0 specification. This OASIS format is expected to become an industry standard for sharing documents. It is being adopted by the OpenOffice/StarOffice version 2 software suite but may appear in other products as well.

How to open OTH files

You need a suitable software like OpenOffice/StarOffice to open an OTH file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your OTH file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a OTH file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
