Hi, Nina,

Please try these steps:

Upload the file to Google Drive (drive.google.com).
Right-click on the .odt file and select "Open with Google Docs."
Go to File > Save as Google Docs in the open document to convert the file to Docs format. (A new document in a new tab should open in Docs format. The original .odt file will remain intact in Drive.)
Make your edits in Docs. When you're done, you can download the document to .odt format by going to File > Download > OpenDocument format (.odt).

Does that resolve it for you?
