Try using a fixed width font in Word like Courier New, your ASCII art should display as intended then.

: when opened in Word.
: Since the TAs didn't actually edit the files we
: submitted last time and sent back a separate grading
: sheet, is there any harm in submitting in a format
: that Word can't edit (such as PDF, which is at least
: halfway-standard, and supported by every platform that
: can run GhostScript)?
: I know that the spec says it must be editable by Word,
: but I've never been one to stick to the spec ;) Along
: those lines, can PDF be added as a file format for
: future specs?
