Convert ODT to CSV

Only the tables in the document can become rows; the paragraphs around them cannot, and they stay where they are. A cell that ran to several lines keeps its line breaks, wrapped in quotes the way CSV requires, so a long note in one cell does not split the row in two.

What is ODT?

What LibreOffice, OpenOffice and Google Docs save a document as, and the ISO-standard counterpart to .docx. Inside it is a zip of XML, which is the reason a table drawn in one can be read back out at all. It is a page format first - paragraphs, page breaks, headers, footnotes - so the only part of it that is data is a table someone drew on the page.

What is CSV?

The least glamorous and most durable data format there is: rows of values separated by commas, readable by every spreadsheet and database ever written. All its subtlety is in quoting - a value with a comma in it has to be wrapped in quotes, and a quote inside that has to be doubled.
