Waitasec...how come this isn't feasible if he's the teacher? My
teachers and professors always specified a document format, or they
wouldn't grade my papers. Why is that considered outside "reality"?<br>

<br>
<br>
I don't know if you are in any position to do this, but how about
<br>
saying that you'll only accept assignments saved in .rtf format, which
<br>
most word processors can do?
<br>
Ok, and now back to reality ;-)
<br>
<br>
As far as I know, and I have looked around in the past, only MS
<br>
publisher will open publisher files. You could have your students save
<br>
the file as .html (which publisher will do) open it in Open Office and
<br>
convert it.
<br>
<br>
There are convertors for .docx. Look here

I'll let someone else chime in about the .wps files.

HTH,

Thank you in advance.
