How does one do this? The one time I tried to comment on a student
paper, what Open Office saved wasn't readable by the student (saved back
to the student's floppy). It would save me a huge amount of time over
all if students could make electronic submissions (Temple Blackboard has
a digital dropbox for this). I thought that I had saved my comments as
a .doc file.
I have Open Office 1.0.2. on a RedHat-9 box.
