An OFT file is an Outlook email template, while some recipients need its message body as an editable Word document. Converting it is useful for revising or sharing the body in software that does not open Outlook templates.
What the OFT format is
OFT is the Outlook Template format used to save reusable email messages, including their message content and formatting. Microsoft Outlook for Windows creates and opens OFT files; they are commonly encountered as saved email templates.
What the DOC format is
DOC is the binary document format used by Microsoft Word 97–2003. Word can edit DOC files, and many word processors, including LibreOffice Writer, can open them; DOC is useful when a recipient or older application specifically requires that format.
How to convert OFT to DOC
Online on 101convert.com
- Open the OFT-to-DOC converter page on 101convert.com and upload the OFT file.
- Start the conversion and wait for the DOC file to be produced.
- Download the converted file. Several files can be converted in one batch; the page displays the per-file size limit.
Offline with desktop software
Outlook can export the template body as HTML; a word processor can then save that file as DOC. This route requires classic Outlook for Windows. For the DOC-saving step, LibreOffice Writer is free and open-source; Microsoft Word is the commercial option.
- Open the OFT file in classic Outlook and save it as HTML using File → Save As. Choose HTML as the file type.
- Open the saved HTML file in LibreOffice Writer. Choose File → Save As, select
Word 97–2003 (.doc)as the file type, and save. In Microsoft Word, open the HTML file and use File → Save As, selectingWord 97-2003 Document (*.doc).
Quality and limitations
The DOC file represents document content, not an Outlook template: recipients, email actions, and other mail-specific behavior do not become Word features. Review the result for layout changes, especially images and complex email formatting. DOC is an older format; use it only when compatibility with DOC is required, otherwise DOCX is generally the newer Word format.
