Can't 'paste' SOP in UCLA application!?

[Sovereign Soul]

Hey folks--I've got a technical question. It seems that I am unable to 'paste' in the text box fields on the UCLA and Harvard applications (they use the same interface). Are you having the same experience?

How are you dealing with this? I'm thinking of just saying--please find attached in the 'supporting docs' section of the application.

Found my answer:

If you are trying to copy text from a word document or other source into an essay field of the application, you may be encountering that the pasting is not completing. This a know issue in Safari on Mac.

To resolve this issue please see listed below are a couple of options (according to Safari's website).

1. In the older version of Mac (10.4X), use a different browser (such as firefox) to resolve the issue.

2. In the new version of MacBook (10.5X), you have an option of "Match and Paste Style" in the Edit Menu. Or use the keyboard shortcut Command + Option + Shift + V.

Did this work for you? I tried this also, but it didn't work for me. I ended up just typing it up in the box...lol.

I'm using PC-Firefox. I was able to copy/paste from the get-go.
