when i complete assignments for class. i save them on my computer as .doc
files. I submit them to my professor they automatically convert to .ink file.
the professor is unable to open

Files don't change extension automatically. How do you submit them to your
professor? Are you using some kind of website / tool to upload them? If so,
you might want to check out what the tool does with them.

They aren't "converting". All you are doing is sending your professor a link
to the shortcut. You need to make sure you attach the .doc file.

I think you'll find that the extension is ".lnk" (with an ell) rather
than ".ink", and that means it's a shortcut to the document and not
the document itself. Since your professor doesn't have any way to
follow the shortcut back to your computer, it isn't surprising that
s/he can't open it.

Are you submitting the document by email? If so, use the email
program's Attach File command instead of drag-and-drop. If instead
you're copying the document to a file server, use the copy and paste
commands.
