She failed us because “we ignored her remarks”. Had no idea they were there.
Everyone knows the only acceptable formats are .pdf and .tex, everything else should be shunned out of society.

good ol virus.txt
.tex

Nah, I hand code my postscript on magnetic core memory with a geomag stud.
.tex is a source format, not a presentation format, and as such should not be valid in a submission field.
they should take .ps though.

Also, LibreOffice saves in .docx format, if you want to be pragmatic rather than dogmatic.
I agree, I fixed it.
