That's not a problem for users of OpenOffice/NeoOffice. You can use non-evil software to save your creations in evil formats. However, i can't see why professors are supporting a monopolistic empire. I can't imagine any reason why it would be any harder to grade a paper in a .rtf file than a paper in a .doc file. |
