We had the same problem with the reformatting, and ended up putting extra spaces at the end of each paragraph. It still looks like one run-on sentence though. Also, when we first cut and pasted the essay in, all the quotations marks and tabs came out as a strange character, and we had to manually fix each one.

The essay was written with the 600 word limit. When we looged on last night to submit (by we I mean the students with me supervising) we saw the 6000 characters mention. Our 600 word essay was only about 3200 characters, but we left it at the 600 words.
