Chairman's Award submission formatting issues

Has anyone else had problems with the formatting of their Chairman's Award essay in its final form? Last year the team wrote the essay as an IM conversation, which was very well received, and this year the students chose another unique format that, like last year, was different but just used the simple tools of the space and return bars to accomplish. However, although the essay looked fine while the students were drafting and frequently saving it over the weeks, once the pictures were uploaded and the rest of the information in and it was to the point where it could be submitted, the essay changed and now reads as one long paragraph, with no returns or breaks whatsoever. When the students go back to edit, however, it reads as the team originally intended. Curious to see if anyone else is experiencing this problem. Not sure what we are going to do, as the essay as it now appears is not what the students wanted. They are so disappointed, and my heart breaks for them. They've really worked hard over the past 6 weeks to produce something that was different but effectively communicated our team's strengths. Whatever happens, I'm proud of what they've accomplished, that's for sure.
