One poster had the right idea: present the paper as a scanned PDF image -- sure, a little more work for both parties, but not overly burdonsome to either [not even to the prof -- acrobat reader may take a long time to load, but not much longer than word...] The downside is that this can still be "OCR'd" from the images
I'd suggest taking it a step further: submit the paper using the professor's "public key" -- that way, ONLY the professor can decipher it. If further copies "magically appear" in turnitin's database, well, you have a pretty good idea who the culprit may be...
Actually, just as a side note, maybe this is a GOOD use for some of the new "features" in a palladium-ensconced version of office: you, as the "author" of the paper, can explicitly forbid copying and perhaps even the ability for turnitin to "read" it...

Maybe next time
