So - works with windows formats?
Authored by: j-beda on Feb 24, '06 06:51:06AM

I understand your difficulties - many of my students seem to have similar problems. I also accept things on paper, so maybe the real basket cases in my classes are not even trying.

I have had success with replying to the students who send in the wrong format a boilerplate set of instructions on how to save a file as RTF, which virtually every program supports. The trick is to do this from day one.

I even found a web reference that someone prepared at North Idaho College: http://www.nic.edu/dess/rtf.htm
