How about this https://evernote.com/evernote/guide/mac/?var=1 You'll get more help if you can be more specific on what you've tried. For example sending to your Evernote address should be straight forward. I use an address like david_low.nnncn@m.evernote.com Link to comment

Lynda I have spent another two hours working on this, and still cannot get Evernote to work smoothly.. It appears to be a time waster so far. I can put items into Pages instantly.. What is the advantage of Evernote? Link to comment

Pages and Evernote are apples and oranges. You need both, but for totally different purposes. Basically, Evernote is a PIM, Personal Information Manager that can sync across almost all computing devices. If you will do a google on "why Evernote" you'll find lots of article. Here's one from LifeHacker.com that is pretty good. It is a few years old, and the UI has changed, but the basics are still the same: What's All the Fuss About Evernote? Should I Be Using It?

It also replaces my paper filing cabinet; I scan any paperwork that I receive. It provides organization of my 6000+ notes using the Tag system. It provides sharing and local features using the Notebook system. I do use Evernote for quick notes, but I use dedicated apps for detail work (for example Pages) Evernote is not a dedicated Project/Task Manager, however it satisfies my needs. Link to comment

Evernote should consider the following facts: Evernote has known my email address since I started with the program I started using Evernote in 2008 (almost 8 years ago). I check this forum on a daily basis.(usually multiple times per day) I've submitted many Support Requests over the years. My Evernote account is up to 30,000 notes And this is the first time I ever heard about Evernote's video library (containing dozens of how-to videos). Grrrr! Shame on Evernote's marketing department.
