+`--reference-odt` *filename*
+:   uses the specified file as a style reference in producing an ODT.
+    For best results, the reference ODT should be a modified version
+    of an ODT produced using pandoc.  The contents of the reference ODT
+    are ignored, but its stylesheets are used in the new ODT. If no
+    reference ODT is specified on the command line, pandoc will look
+    for `$HOME/.pandoc/reference.odt` (on unix) or
+    `C:\Documents And Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\pandoc\reference.odt`
+    (on Windows). If this is not found either, sensible defaults will be
+    used.

 `-D` or `--print-default-template` *format*
 :   prints the default template for an output *format*. (See `-t`
     for a list of possible *format*s.)
