djlewis@triadic.com 0 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I am searching for a tool to gather together a bunch of notes with a given tag into a single file, ideally for MS Word, but that is not absolutely necessary as long as I can export to that. My main use case is creating text snippets -- each one from a phrase to multiple pages -- and then gathering together all the snippets with a given tag in a single file that I can edit into a written piece. Nice to have images, web pages, videos, etc as well, but creating my own text snippets by writing or capture is the must-have use. How, in Evernote, would I gather the tagged snippets into a single file? Thanks. --David Link to comment
Level 5* DTLow 5,680 Posted November 27, 2018 Level 5* Share Posted November 27, 2018 On my Mac, I can select a bunch of notes, and am presented with a merge box This will merge the notes into a single note. No export > word function, but I can convert to pdf or copy/paste Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 9,544 Posted November 27, 2018 Level 5* Share Posted November 27, 2018 Hi. Two thoughts on this - If you want to keep your notes as separate items either select all the notes and print to PDF. I think this generates one PDF file with all the content. Or, select all the notes and copy them to a separate notebook to preserve their individual identities before merging (or get the separate notes back from the Trash after the merge...) Link to comment
djlewis@triadic.com 0 Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 DTLow -- thanks for the suggestion. However, I cannot make it work. I can select a tag and see the notes, but I see no way to select multiple notes -- moving the cursor automatically highlights the note hovered over, leaving no way to select multiple notes, much less merge them.

djlewis@triadic.com 0 Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 gazumped -- thanks for the idea. Unfortunately, a PDF file is not terribly useful. Plus, as I explained above, I cannot see how to select multiple notes. Link to comment

The web client doesn't do exports, as far as I know. Am I missing something here? Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 9,544 Posted November 28, 2018 Level 5* Share Posted November 28, 2018 Hmmn. Using the web interface won't allow you to select multiple notes - neither the 'old' (Firefox) version of that UI or the 'new' (Chrome) versions don't have that option. Is it possible for you to download and install the desktop/ laptop version from Evernote.com? Link to comment
djlewis@triadic.com 0 Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 Thanks -- I did download the windows app and everything works as expected. Thanks! Link to comment
Lightning 0 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Totally easy if you use the Evernote app Link to comment
