I am having this problem as well. Has anyone contacted admissions about this?
Here's how to do it:
1. save your word doc as a .txt (plain text) document
2. copy and paste to the activities, essays, etc.
3. save the work without making any edits (it will probably look clean at this point)
4. after saving your pasted work, go back and edit--words will be cut off at the end and punctuation will have errors.
5. after your edits are complete, save it again.
6. go back to double check but it should be clean at this point.
FYI--I used about 750 characters for one of my activities sections. 400 just wasn't enough and I'm willing to risk it.
