<p>I've had my Common App essay done since August and I'm having endless troubles with getting it to show up as correct when I view the PDF preview. I finally figured out how to get paragraph breaks in between my paragraphs, and that's working fine, except for between my first and second paragraphs. No matter what I try, when I view the PDF on Chrome (if I try it on FireFox, it shows up as one giant paragraph no matter what so I abandoned all hopes of using that browser), the first and second paragraphs are lumped into one. EVERY OTHER PARAGRAPH IS FORMATTED CORRECTLY. I don't understand why this isn't working?? I'm not over the word limit or anything so I don't know why it's doing this....</p>
<p>I think we got a message that said to copy and paste it from word to notepad first, format it how you want it to look in notepad, then copy from notepad to the common app. It looked fine after that. Give it a try!</p>
