Personal Statement Format

I'm a bit worried about my personal statement. The format is fine on UCAS, under 'view all details'. I've left blank lines for paragraphs.

But when I copy and paste it into Word, it shows up differently. It looks like:

'bla bla bla bla bla
bla
bla bla bla bla bla bla'

There's some full lines, then some words come up on a line by themselves - on some lines there's just one word.

Thanks

if it looks fine on ucas it's fine for the unis.

yeah, don't worry. Same thing with mine and everybody else's.. just how they processed it as to count the number of lines.

Does everyones' show up like that?

And do universities get it the way it is on UCAS, because I heard it's Times New Roman size 12. Mine looks weird like that, but if I change the size to 10 it looks fine.

I thought they get it in Arial size 8 like it looks like when you preview it on UCAS

don't worry bout that. Its just how ucas transfer it from word to allow it to process the word count etc
