Thanks for the quick reply! For the \ insertion, it appears that they are being inserted after I save the template. So far, they are appearing in front of question marks, periods, and parenthesis. Some examples:
permanent address \(if different from present\)
how did you hear about this position\?
if hired, can you present evidence of your u\.s\. citizenship and/or proof of your legal right to work in the united states\?
Thanks for your help.
