<p>I am submitting commonapp. On my essay I added paragraph breaks, yet when I hit continue, the breaks are gone, and I went to pdf preview, everything is in one giant paragraph. What should I do?</p>
<p>Do a search in the Common App forum; there are several recent threads there that provide possible solutions to this problem.</p>
<p>Easiest way is to cut and paste out of Notepad. Make sure you double ‘return’ between paragraphs so you have a break. If you’re a Mac person,use TextEdit. </p>
<p>Also be aware that italics will look totally weird. Most folks are just omitting italics.</p>
