1. Try Different Software

Don't have the OpenOffice/StarOffice OpenDocument Global Text Document (Sun Microsystems Inc.) software package? The good news is that two other popular software packages can also open files with the ODM suffix. If you don't have OpenOffice/StarOffice OpenDocument Global Text Document (Sun Microsystems Inc.), you can also use OverDrive Media Console Media Control File or Opendisc Software. Alternatively, you can do a Google search to see if there are other free software packages that also open files with the ODM extension.

Pro Tip: Consider whether you really want to buy expensive software to open a once-off file, or whether you want to risk possibly installing malware with a free software package.

2. Change ODM File Associations

Computers are smart, but can sometimes be easily confused. Your PC may ask you to choose a default program with which you want to open ODM file extensions in future. If you don't receive this prompt, you could change your ODM file associations via your Control Panel.

3. Download a Universal Software Viewer

Do you frequently receive files like ODM that you can't open? Ruling out any possible issues with your computer would be a first step to solving your issues. However, if your computer is working just fine and you simply receive many binary files for which you don't have the appropriate software, you could download a universal software viewer.
