Atlantis Word Processor does not support all the features and document elements possible in ODT documents. Atlantis might be unable to load some formatting from an ODT document simply because Atlantis does not support the corresponding formatting type. For instance, Atlantis does not support the overline text formatting. Obviously Atlantis could not load and render (display) overline formatting if you open an ODT document with this formatting in Atlantis. But Atlantis does its best to convert as much "incompatible formatting" from ODTs to its internal format as possible. In some areas Atlantis does a better job than the "Open ODT" filter of MS Word. For instance, Atlantis can convert "outline hyperlinks" (hyperlinks implicitly associated with heading paragraphs; their URLs are terminated with "|outline"; they are normally used in TOCs) from ODTs to the internal (MS Word-compatible) format.

So if a document (no matter its format) displays/functions in Atlantis correctly, Atlantis would convert it to EPUB satisfactorily. But it is still preferable to format a source document according to the recommendations from this page:
