<p>My D is getting ready to send in common app, but we are having problems formatting the supplementary essay. It seems to allow her to format it correctly but when she goes to preview/print the essay becomes one large paragraph that is hard to read.</p>

<p>We only have Mac's so I don't know if that is part of the problem. Can anyone give suggestions?</p>

<p>D was thinking of just double spacing inbetween paragraphs to make the essay easier to read but I wonder if the college reader would penalize her for improper format?
Another option would be to mail the common app and print the essays seperately but D is reluctant to do that.</p>

<p>She'd appreciate any help.</p>

<p>Nah colleges do not penelise her for something like a improper format. If the adcoms were to penelise her it would be the last think they'd consider. Just use the MLA format. Double space or 1.5 space if you want and you can even single space in between paragraphs. Just have to take the stress factor on the eye out while reading the essay.
Imagine how would someone from a country deprived of computer facilities, grapple with these kind of curiosities??</p>

<p>Thanks Mickeythepikey and banedon17. D is so stressed at this point she is obsessing about everything.</p>

<p>D tried double spacing but all it did was leave a small gap in between paragraphs but it is a bit easier to read.</p>
