Had a question about the personal statement section. OK so I typed my PS on Word and then cut & paste to Notepad (saved as text format) then cut & paste from Notepad to My Documents on ERAS. Well in ERAS there were areas in which a red ? was placed on symbols that I used which were apostrophes (') and quotation marks ("). Now do the programs see the ?'s when they print my personal statement because that's going to look weird. I don't know how to correct it, it wouldn't make sense if I didn't use an apostrophe when I needed one in a word. So what can I do? I don't want to change my PS because I've already spent too much time on it and need to just send it off. Help! 😕
 
You can just (1) correct it in ERAS, or (2) save your document in Word as a .txt file before you copy/paste.
