(Archived) Tag selected text

[aoconnor 0]

I'm a Mac user and would like to be able to tag selected text rather than tagging only at the note level.  I can't find a way to do this.  Am I missing it?

 

Thanks,

ALexis

No. You may only tag notes.

It would be great to be able to tag selected text.  That way, there could be multiple modes or organizing - you could organize by note and then the content within the note could also be organized.

What can I say? In the Evernote architecture, tags can only apply to notes.

I am not clear how tagging selected text would provide for organizing note content -- do you mean that the note's content would move around? Or that the tagged content would only be shown? Or something else?

Hi - I'm also looking for a way to tag selected text in a note - I'm reading lots of different papers and books for my dissertation and creating a new note for each new paper/book I read.  As there are multiple themes within each set of notes I'm making, I would like to highlight theme (tag them) as they emerge.  

 

I'm disappointed to find I can't tag selected text within a note, however I'm new to EndNote so maybe there is another way of doing this, any ideas?

Surely you mean "Evernote"

No workarounds that I know of: you can probably come up with something ad-hoc that could work for you; for example, just adding a keyword at the appropriate point (e.g. "Theme"), and then doing a text search for that. Or just a plain text-search for the themes that you find would suffice, if they're special to your research (i.e., not commonly found in normal content, so that they'd stand out).

Yes, I meant EverNote!  Trying to juggle too much 

Thanks for your suggestion, much appreciated!
