(Archived) Pasting an image into a note

[pjweingarden 0]

I'm trying to transfer notes that I've made in the past to Evernotes. Like your blog, my notes contain text as well as screen capture images. When I select all, & copy, I then paste the material into a evernote. However, only the text portion is pasted. So my question is how do I paste image files into an evernote.

What program were the notes original made in?

If you have a way to convert them to HTML (or just open them in a browser) - just clip them right into Evernote that way.

Otherwise, you'll need to right-click and "save as" on the image, and add it separately from the text, or hit the "Print Screen" button and use the clipper.

In particular, Firefox on the Mac does not place any images into the Mac clipboard, so you can't paste them into other applications:

Thanks for the feedback.

I was actually copying notes from my Lotus Organizer notepad. But, I also have plenty of notes that I've made in Word and One Note. I liked the potential of Evernote to classify all my notes as well as make them available on my itouch & desktop.

As I mentioned in my earlier post, many of my notes on file contain images that help clarify my documentation. I was thinking of evernotes as a notemaker that mixes images with text in all circumstance, and not that images would come specifically from web pages.

I added a comment to my original post..not really knowing the protocol.

I have to say though that the right click "save as" doesn't work on my mac where Lotus Organizer (a windows program) is part of fusion- vista. I've got a lot of notes in the Organizer notepad which I would like to transfer to evernote, but I don't know of a way of converting them easily to HTML. Word produces an htm file which might work but it's a roundabout way.
