There's an .ODT file (OpenOffice Writer document). If I send it to
other people but they don't have OpenOffice installed, is there any
viewr for odt? I know OpenOffice itself is a freeware but quite big to
download and install. Many people wouldn't do that just to read some
..ODT occasionally. MS Word has its own viewer. So OpenOffice Writer has
a lightweighted viewer?

Second, is there any way to download specific feature of it? Say, I've
installed English version of OpenOffice, yet I want to install
spellcheckers for French and Japanese which are probably included in
French and Japanese version of OpenOffice.

If you want to send a file for viewing only, then use File -> Export as
PDF..., which almost everyone can read. Accordingly no viewer is needed
for OpenOffice Writer.

Use File -> Wizards -> Install new dictionaries... to get the latest
versions of any spell-check dictionaries, hyphenation dictionaries, and
thesauruses that you wish.
