Is there some reason why I can't indent my paragraphs? All I can do is put a space between each paragraph.

Yeah, it just doesn't let you do it. Don't worry bout it.
 
You don't need to. AMCAS double-spaces between paragraphs (which is why hitting return charges two characters), so indenting isnt necessary.

Do I have to do the double spacing? I hit return after each paragraph but when I view my essay there is no double space between the paragraphs.
 
No, just hit return once to end a paragraph. Look closely on your AMCAS printout, the double spacing is there.
 
Hey, how o you TAB prior to paragraph?
Do I have to press ENTER between each paragraph?
How do you make it double-spaced?
What is RETURN (=backspace)?

1. do not indent
2. at the end of each paragraph. press enter to separate paragraphs by a line
3. do not make it double spaced, if the adcom really wants to, he/she can copy paste and double space homie
4. RETURN = ENTER

extra credit
if you are running out of characters, go to the end of each paragraph and hit "delete" to get rid of an extra space or two (quite common)
 
Thanks. Every minor detail in this application seems frustrating..lol
