commonapp formating problem

<p>Personally I don't think its a big deal but does anyone else have formatting problem with their essays. For me the first paragraph wouldn't indent (when i checked in print preview) no matter what I did to it.</p>

<p>I can't get any of them to indent. How did you do that???</p>

<p>Well I know tab button doesn't work. Use the space bar and insert like 2-4 spaces at beginning of the paragraph. This works for all the paragraphs except first, when i click print preview first paragraph isn't indent even though I inserted indents. And the last paragraph has a space between it and the second to last paragraph even though I didn't do jack to it.</p>

<p>edit
got rid of the gap problem between last paragraph and second to last paragraph. The first paragraph still wont indent but i think ill just leave it that way.</p>

<p>why do you need to indent? just put a space between paragraphs. </p>

<p>but i did have some formatting problems on the supplements. basically it would cut words off or out on the margins. so i just mailed a copy in as well.</p>

<p>the space between the paragraphs worked for me. it ended up a lot better than the spaces.
the colleges should know that you can't really format though. all the schools I've talked to said they don't care.</p>

<p>How much cutting off happened to your essay? The cutting off on mine was like half a letter so thats pretty negligible</p>

<p>b151: first of all, i like your name. for me, it cut off a few short words such as "I", "me", etc. and it made some things look really wacko.</p>

<p>chriscap: thanks and I like that space between each paragraph instead of indent thing. looks a lot more pleasing.
Finally going to submit.</p>

<p>happy new year everyone!</p>
