<p>I notice that for the essays, etc.. on the UVa application, you can either type directly into the box or cut and paste. The latter seems like the better
choice but when I tried that, the box re-formatted the text that I had tried to input. Is it okay to correct the reformatted text after it is in the box or will that screw things up worse ? Is the only safe bet to type directly into the box and skip the cut and paste ? Thanks. MBJ</p>
<p>The instructions on the page should help you out...they mention the lack of formatting in the text boxes.</p>
