you can type in word but make sure you copy paste in a plain Text/Notepad file and then paste that to the application...
a related Qs for you and others who rad this thread... any idea what the margin spacing is supposed to be this year...? and does one really have to print it out to see if it fits on one page? is that actually how PDs see it..?
goodluck

yikes...!
okay check if you have used any italics, underlining, or bold, punctuation marks other than periods and commas... delete those and see...

thank you so much Satori for your suggestions. I've just succeeded to upload my PS , yes, you are right. I had one semicolon in my PS, may be that was the reason why I could not upload it. After I changed the semicolon to comma, I could upload that.
God Bless you.
