Yes, it's on a list of pending documents, but I thought it'd be less of a hassle if I just submitted it properly and then I wouldn't have to wait as long. But I suppose I'll just have to wait, if I can't figure out how to use this 'Vim'.

Once you install Vim you want to open the program called gVim in the start menu. Then you can File->Open the text file.
When you first open a file in gVim, it's ready to accept commands. i.e. typing things won't insert text into the file, rather vim will interpret any keys you press as a command to execute.
If you type a :, you should see text start to appear at the bottom of the vim window. That means it's interpreting what you type as a command to run. Type the first line I have above in its entirety exactly as it's written (be sure to include the : at the beginning), and press Enter. Nothing should really appear to happen, but stuff happens behind the scenes. Type the second line I have above and press Enter. Again nothing will really appear to happen.
The third line doesn't begin with a : . Still, type it exactly how I have it (capitalization matters). This time you should see stuff start to happen; when you type 1G the cursor may jump to a new location; when you press VG all the text should be highlighted, and when you press gq everything should be word-wrapped. Once you're done, File->Save like any other program.
If you press the wrong keys, you may throw vim into another mode and thigns may start getting screwy. If that happens I recommend closing vim and starting over (or else learning to use vim, but that may take a while).
I've been doing it like you said, but it still doesn't seem like enough.
