Pages does not support .odt documents, and is not the Word clone that Open Office, or LibreOffice provide. It does open (and translate) Word documents into Pages internal .pages format. Where the translation process encounters features not supported by Pages, they will be excluded, and even potentially terminate the translation process. Pages will perform font substitution if the fonts in the incoming document are not physically installed on macOS.
Your best bet is to convert that .odt to Word .docx in one of the following options:
Although Apple's TextEdit can open .odt, and even save as Word .docx, it is not a word processing application and may alter the intended .odt layout, so I do not recommend using it for conversion purposes.
