RavBoy,
- Regarding your observation #2: CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+A did nothing for me. By the way, I couldn't find this shortcut mentioned on Evernote's website, or anywhere else. Might there be a typo in what you wrote?
- To answer your question about why I wouldn't store the Word file in the EN note: under Windows 7 (which I just upgraded from and still have on another computer): Evernote stores attached Word files in its Databases/Attachments folder; and since I have a great many Word docs to deal with, I don't take up a huge amount of disk space if I have an alternative (i.e., what I described in my initial post).
That said, I just found that (contrary to my expectation that it would replicate my Windows 7 installation), when I installed EN under Windows 10, the Attachments folder did not contain any of the handful of files I had stored there under Windows 7. Where does EN under Win 10 store its attachments?
