Bug Description

WriteType user should be allowed to interoperate with:

1. Other students with other wordprocessing applications
2. The own documents previously saved from LibreOffice/Calligra/Abiword/etc.

An easy solution can be to add a menu shortcut for importing and exporting ODT documents, per example, with a Pandoc call or some other converter. With tools such as Pandoc, more interesting formats could be added (DOCx, RTF, Epub).

On point (1): Other students should be able to open html files. Most word processors import this automatically.

On point (2): These documents would import very poorly into WriteType. Most features would not be supported, which would cause more confusion than it would help.

I've tested ODT -> HTML -> WriteType and looks pretty well most of full formatted documents.
