Well, actually I consider myself the originator (but I am willing to  
share this honor with the medic who added the "exceedingly OT" to the  
subject.
Anyway: thanks for all the replies.  I guess everybody agrees that  
convincing somebody who is really use to the WYSIWYG format of Word  
and is not really interested in typesetting and does not have to deal  
with equations might be hard to convince to accept Tex, especially if  
he wants to mess with your files (as in my case).
Lucky, whoever can refer to standards policies (as Gerben suggested).  
That will work for a school in the US, but I came back from UT @  
Austin to Germany some month ago ;-( Things are a little different  
here...

I guess my question is: has anybody had any problems with publishers  
not accepting tex-processed files? I am a little afraid of writing my  
thesis with Tex and then discovering that the word-lovers have taken  
over even the publishers....

Cheers,
Alex
