<p>I'll try to explain this as clearly as I can. I was proofreading my son's supplement to the common app for one of the colleges he is applying to. As I didn't want to make any changes directly on the application, I copied and pasted one answer into Word. Then I went on to another question and corrected a simple spelling error. Well, the lines that I had copied and pasted to Word then appeared over and over in the text box for the answer to both questions. I can't get it to go away, even when I delete text and type in new text and save it. The two questions now seem to be connected somehow, too. One question does not list a character count, but when I delete characters from the box, it changes the character count on the other box. And to make matters worse, when all of the text was pasted into the box for the 2nd question, it made his answer too long and deleted the second half of his answer that he had there.</p>
<p>I have tried closing the Common App and restarting my computer, but that didn't help. It's just weird that it won't save any changes on these two questions, but will save the changes on other questions. </p>
<p>Any one have any ideas? Thanks!</p>
