<p>I tried pasting from notepad, and it still cuts them off. 
I dont know what to do. The essay can be read, but some of the words have their last letters cut off. Anyone know a solution?</p>
<p>Do you mean the words at the edges of the margins, or that your essay was too long and the end was cut off?</p>
<p>The words at the end of the margins.</p>
<p>You can try adding some spaces so the word goes onto the next line.</p>
<p>Dude its usually like half a letter. If it is then chill out. The people will be able to understand what you are trying to say. This is what happened to me on all common applications. I just let it be. </p>
<p>However if its like a whole word... then you should worry.</p>
<p>Gyros, sorry if I sounded panicked. :D It is normally around half a letter at most...for the word school, however, it spells it schoo. I've tried what they've said, and it still comes out the same...I'll just submit it as is. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>And anyhow its not your fault. You typed it correctly. Its the common app thing that displays it. not you.</p>
<p>Ya, Ive experienced that too, but what can you do?!? It cuts off like part of a letter or a letter, but you just gotta go with it. Thats the Common APp</p>
<p>That is why my son's chool recommends printing out the Common App plus the supplement and sending in the hard copy. For the essays, use the Word version.</p>
<p>are you sweeping from microsoft word into Common Ap? If
so, perhaps you have the margins set too wide (compared to what
the ComAp expects) on your computer's Microsoft word.</p>
<p>Paying3tuitions, I formatted it in Notepad, and did all that stuff so that an unadulterated copy would get pasted.</p>
<p>or just really simple</p>
<p>you can do this edit directly in the common app textbox</p>
<p>you probably wrote "someword school" right?</p>
<p>well, turn it into "somewordschool" and click in between someword and school and do a hard return (press the 'enter' key) </p>
<p>then view it and it'll shift the school onto the next line :]</p>
