C6REW 416 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Hi All,My first two years of using OneNote - 2007 and 2008 were all done using a tablet laptop and hand writing.Just imported 2007 and it looks like I cannot search. Is this a problem with imported hand written notes or am I doing something wrong? As I understand it we should be able to search hand written notes, but maybe only ones created in Evernote?Thanks for your help.Best regardsChris Link to comment

C6REW 416 Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Hi Metrodon,Not sure I know what you mean. I imported from OneNote. What do you mean by Synch?Best regardsChris Link to comment
Level 5* GrumpyMonkey 4,314 Posted January 28, 2012 Level 5* Share Posted January 28, 2012 sync=synchronize local and cloud accounts. there is a button in the top left corner called "sync." press that, and your files will be uploaded onto evernote's servers. there, after some time has passed (we don't know how much), the files will be ocr'd. the process does not occur immediately.

C6REW 416 Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Thanks for the heads up. I can report it works perfectly now.RegardsChris Link to comment
