From another member of this mailing list: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Absolutely - I do it routinely every month. But you *must* remember to "SAVE AS" a version of your assignment doc as an MSWord file - Open Office Writer, like any other word processor since the dawn of time, will default to saving it in its own file format unless you give it different instructions. So you can't just "SAVE" and hand *that* file to her - you have to "SAVE AS" an MSWord file - note also that Open Office Writer will offer you more than one choice of MSWord format, so you need to select the one you think is closest to the one your instructor uses.
