<p>When I copy and paste from microsoft word to the common app, the word count goes down substantially with no words actually going away, and there are random extra spaces and enters throughout the essay. Will it still look wrong in the print preview or when an adcom is reading it?</p>
<p>People have said to move it from Word to Notepad beforehand. All I know is that spacing does get messed up when transferring it directly from Word</p>
<p>I actually just copied from word then pasted to the google search bar, then copied that and pasted it into the the word box and the spacing was fine.</p>
<p>Prsguitar, does this work if your essay has multiple paragraphs?</p>
<p>No I can’t put any spaces between paragraphs with or without putting in in google first if that is what you are asking.</p>
