Is there some way I can justify my PS on ERAS?

Hi

I am trying to finally submit it tonight....how do I make sure the margins are not funny?

thanks

After you upload it to MyERAS, you can make changes to it (BEFORE submitting it). In fact, make sure you review it after uploading--mine had some funny formatting issues that needed to be corrected.

Hmmmm. I assume you're PS is a "word" document? My margins seemed to transfer okay. I'm not really sure what to suggest in order to get the margins flush after transferring.

Sorry I'm no help! 🙁
 
I haven't gone through the process or anything, but could you make your PS into a .pdf and upload it? That should negate any formatting issues.

No. There is a text box that you enter it into (so if you have a word document, you have to copy and paste).

My bad, I wasn't sure what 'upload' meant.
 
If I am remembering correctly...instead of using Word, we were advised to use Wordpad to avoid formatting issues. I typed the PS in Word, transferred it to Wordpad and tuned it up, and then cut and pasted into ERAS.

Yeah, that is the safer thing to do. Any "special characters" from Word (for ex: quotation marks) get turned into inverted question marks when you copy and paste.

Just a friendly reminder- copy and paste your CV or CAF into Word or something and run spell check 😉 . I almost forgot and misspelled the road I live on... goodness (I'm sure I was the only person who nearly forgot this though!). I just don't want anyone to make that same silly mistake 🙂 Best of luck!
