Pretend you are writing an email, and that the recipient will read it as plain text. "To put spacing between sections, hit 'enter' instead of using the space bar.... To highlight subheadings, use all caps. In lieu of bullet points, use "-" or "\*" characters" ([How to Format a Resume for Online Applications](http://work.chron.com/format-resume-online-applications-27842.html)). (You can also use "+".) See if you can find an email address or fax number for the recruiter or HR person, so you can fax or attach the formatted pdf version.
