ElCoyoteSurvives 5 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I can highlight, boldface, etc, in Legacy but in v10 all tools are grayed out. Also I can't click to place the cursor anywhere except in Title. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,808 Posted July 27, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted July 27, 2021 If you want to edit a web clip, you must first convert it into a simplified version. Click on the web clip. A title menu with 3 items will show at the top center of it. Click on the magic wand, or on the 3 dots, then on simplify formatting. After it converted the clip, you can edit it. If you want to save a copy of the original web clip, duplicate the note before simplifying. 1 Link to comment

However, if you find that simplifying destroys the formatting too much and all you want to do is highlight, annotate etc there is another solution that sometimes works quite well. Print the webpage to pdf saving it to the EN import folder. Printing web pages can be a disaster but if it looks OK you can then use EN's pdf annotation capabiliy. 1 Link to comment
ElCoyoteSurvives 5 Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 Thank you, PinkElephant and Mike P. I tried Simplify formatting on one clip (after saving a copy). It worked as you said it would. For my purposes, I can live with the resultant formatting to "HTML Content". I also tried using the text formatting tools in Legacy. Open the web clip. Highlight some text. Close Legacy, open v10, and the highlighting is still there! The note was converted from Web Clip to HTML Content, but the original formatting of the web clip appears to remain. Another reason for me to keep Legacy around for awhile. 1 1 Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,808 Posted July 27, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted July 27, 2021 From my side sounds like a good strategy - keeping up with v10, doing (some) work in legacy. The only pity is that legacy won’t get the new stuff. But using both no problem. Link to comment
