EAS- we can use size 11, TNM

weird..

I wrote out my PS, put it in size 11.5 just to see what it looks like, it says it's 46 lines. So I print it off just to see what it looks like.

Then I cut out a few words (on microsoft word), changed it to size 12, copied and pasted into EAS. It then said it's 47 lines yay, printed it off but then the last line of my PS was printed on the last line of the box which reads "ELECTRONIC APPLICATION. SIGNATURE HELD AT UCAS".

So then I pressed 'enter' so there was an extra 'blank line' at the end of my PS and the EAS automatically changed to less than size 12 (prob wither size 11.5 or more likely size 11) and when I printed it off it looked fine. I showed a teacher (who sorts out exams and uni stuf) and he says it's fine because unis receive both the hard copy of our application and the online one too.
Hmm..

anyone else noticed how when you look at your PS on EAS on the computer it looks different (in length/width) to a printeed version.

Print preview it seems whole statemnet fits exactly on page but after printing, theres a blank space after each line on the personal statment which doesnt seem right but i think thats what its sposed to be like

It's because the margins on word are much bigger, so you can fit more text into the EAS. My PS was like 52 lines on word, but fitted into 47 on the EAS.
