Evince is primarily intended as viewer and printer for PDF documents and Postscript documents. It also handles a few other things, such as DVI documents, DjVu documents, TIFF documents and somewhat suprisingly, Impress (presentation) slides. For odt, ods, rtf, xls and doc files I recommend that you use OpenOffice. If you want you can also use OpenOffice to convert these files to PDF.
