<p>I have an indention on the first line of both my main essay and short response, but whenever I hit the save button or click print preview it's gone, is there anything i can do to correct this?</p>
<p>5 spaces instead of a tab.</p>
<p>italics, bold, paragraphing, bullets, all get lost on an online text field. just use spaces instead of TAB. the colleges wants to see your content, not the formatting. but if there's something inside you feel abolutely nescesary to format, say, an italic word, just put an asterisk then explain at the bottom what the asterisk is for.</p>
