I remember formatting the personal statement was a problem last year. This year, I am still not able to format my personal statement once I copy it from my Word program to PharmCAS. Each paragraph won't indent when I view it, even though I made the necessary indentions manually. Did anyone else have this problem?

I had the same problem last year and I wound up putting five stars at the beginning of each paragraph like this:
*****This is the second paragraph of my personal statement.
I have no idea what it looked like to the school when they received it, but it looked better to me when I viewed it online.

I did "spacebar" it, but it isn't showing the indention. I'll try to put a space in between each paragraph.

At least for last years application, neither spacebarring nor an extra line between paragraphs made any difference when I viewed my statement, which is why I chose an arbitrary character (use *,-,^ or something) to use as a paragraph marker.
Okay, I added a space in between each paragraph, and while the paragraphs still aren't indented, the PS format looks much better.
