Mine shows up as one huge paragraph when I print also. No indentations or anything.
 
When I applied last year, it was one big paragraph. I don't think there's much you can do about it, and I was told that when schools view it, they see it in the right format. Either way I got accepted.
 
Bumped from the dead...
How did you guys enter your PS online? A line bt paragraphs or indentions (spaces) at the begining of new ones?
 
trust me i dont think there is ANYTHING you can do to make it NOT look like one huge paragraph...and i don't think it matters as everyone's is gonna look like that. honestly, indentations and everything will not alter it once you click on the print thing to view it out.
