+Org-mode 7.6 supports export to OpenDocumentText format using
+@file{org-odt.el} module contributed by Jambunathan K.  This module can be
+enabled in one of the following ways based on your mode of installation.
+
+@enumerate
+@item
+If you have downloaded the Org from the Web, either as a distribution
+@file{.zip} or @file{.tar} file, or as a Git archive, enable the @code{odt}
+option in variable @code{org-modules}.
+@item
+If you are using Org that comes bundled with Emacs, then you can install the
+OpenDocumentText exporter using the package manager. To do this, customize
+the variable @code{package-archives} to include
+@uref{http://orgmode.org/pkg/releases/} as one of the package archives.

+Export as OpenDocumentText file.  For an Org file, @file{myfile.org}, the
+OpenDocumentText file will be @file{myfile.odt}.  The file will be
+overwritten without warning.  If there is an active region@footnote{This
+requires @code{transient-mark-mode} to be turned on}, only the region will be
+exported.  If the selected region is a single tree@footnote{To select the
+current subtree, use @kbd{C-c @@}.}, the tree head will become the document
+title.  If the tree head entry has, or inherits, an @code{EXPORT_FILE_NAME}

+
+OpenDocumentExporter ships with a custom @file{styles.xml} for formatting of
+the exported file.  To customize the output to suit your needs you can use
+one of the following methods:
+
+@enumerate
+@item
+Customize the variable @code{org-export-odt-styles-file} to point to either a
+@file{styles.xml} file, a OpenDocument Text Template file @code{.ott} or a
+combination of Text or Template Document together with a set of member files.
+Use the first two options if the styles.xml has no references to additional
+set of files and use the last option if the @file{styles.xml} references
+additional files like header and footer images.
+@item
+Use an external tool like unoconv to apply custom templates.
+@end enumerate
+
+For best results, it is necessary that the style names used by
+OpenDocumentText exporter match that used in the @file{styles.xml}.

+
+Often times there is a need to convert OpenDocumentText files to other
+formats like doc, docx or pdf.  You can accomplish this by one of the
+following methods:
+
+@table @kbd
+@item M-x org-lparse
+Export the outline first to one of the native formats (like OpenDocumentText)
+and immediately post-process it to other formats using an external converter.
+
+@item M-x org-export-convert
+Export an existing document to other formats using an external converter.

+@cindex embedding images in OpenDocumentText
+
+OpenDocumentText exporter can embed images within the exported document. To
+embed images, provide a link to the desired image file with no link
+description. For example, the following links @samp{[[file:img.jpg]]} or
+@samp{[[./img.jpg]]}, will result in embedding of @samp{img.jpg} in the
+exported file.
+
+The exporter can also embed scaled and explicitly sized images within the
+exported document.  The markup of the scale and size specifications has not
+been standardized yet and is hence conveniently skipped in this document.
+
+The exporter can also make an image the clickable part of a link. To create
+clickable images, provide a link whose description is a link to an image
+file. For example, the following link
+@samp{[[http://Orgmode.org][./img.jpg]]}, will result in a clickable image
+that links to @uref{http://Orgmode.org} website.

+@subsection Additional Documentation
+
+OpenDocumentText exporter is a beta software and is quickly evolving.  So the
+documentation in this section of the manual should not be considered as
+authoritative. For up to date information, you are requested to follow the
+Org mailing list @email{emacs-orgmode@@gnu.org} closely.
