You can also create paragraphs by typing your essay directly into the box for submission."
Hope that solves the mystery!

Unfortunately, that does not fix the issue, at least for Woodie Flowers (I have not tried with Chairman's, but the submission format is exactly the same, so I would imagine there is no difference.)
As stated previously above, when you save the essay, which included tabs and enters, that was copied-and-pasted into the text box, the form shows a clump - one long paragraph without any tabs and enters. For Woodie Flowers: when you go back to "Edit Details" to hopefully reinstall those spaces and enters, the essay is back how it was originally - with spaces and tabs. Thus, the solution which FIRST proposed, at elast for Woodie Flowers, does not work.
