turn auto checkbox OFF

[svani 0]

I have a report I typically compose in evernote.

I recently updated my evernote copy to the one directly downloaded from the evernote site -- since then, the checkboxes automatically convert from [ ] .  This is lovely if you want to use as checkbox, but I really want text.

Is there a way to turn OFF the automatic conversion to checkboxes?

I am in complete agreement. Please let us turn off auto numbering. I use this all the time and you have kinda screwed up my basic note taking functions

As of version EN Mac 6.3 Update, you can turn OFF all auto-formatting, including [ ] into checkboxes, in EN Mac Preferences > Formatting.

Thanks. I'm actually using Windows. Do you know how to turn it off in Windows?

AFAIK, this Preference/Option has not yet made it into EN Win.

To get the best response, it's best to post Windows questions in the Evernote Windows Desktop Help forum.

Unfortunately there isn't a way yet.  We are adding a preference to turn off the bullets but I hadn't heard of anyone not wanting the checkbox so that currently isn't in the plan but let me investigate more.  For now you can use CMD+Z to undo the conversion.

@Marcus, please make the preference to toggle on/off auto-formatting apply to ALL auto-formatting.

I'll keep repeating this:  I see no need for auto-formatting when there is already a shortcut key to achieve the same effect.
