that is draconian. fight the power.

i dont own a single copy of word. i do in fact have vi, and i can write 
all kinds of formats, he is just requiring you use his editor. thats 
ridiculous. a professor of a friend of mine actually required her 
students write their programming projects in emacs. i called her on it 
and told her it was fascist and that she should make no such requirement.

your professor can view html, text, rtf, and many other kinds of 
documents. suggest to him that he instead bend a little.
