Thanks everyone. Legacy does what I want so I will stick with it for the time being.

I will also advise the Uchek people that their scan seems to report an update in error.

I can't find one but Uchek (which looks for updates for programs on a PC)  reported one.

The new version reported was the same as I already have been using for a few months, so I doubt Uchek is correct.   

Thanks for your help people.    The problem is solved.  I have always been a mouse user and used the Right-Click and choose Copy then Right-Click and choose Paste method and that doesn't appear to work for some reason. I suddenly wondered and tried the [Control + C] method then e.g. in an email, Rt-Click and paste and BINGO, success!

I am using the legacy client 6.25 with Windows 8. I cannot find reference for what the version is on the Chromebook.

@Herbie, you don't say which application and OS you are having a problem with.

On Windows 10, the desktop app  works as you would expect all text to copy/paste.  Highlight the text you require right click and select COPY or tap Ctrl+C. Then paste into the new document/Email.

Sorry, Windows 8  desktop app and also on my chromebook (chrome OS) using the Evernote app.

Happy New Year everyone.

I can paste text into an Evernote but cannot do the reverse.  I cannot believe it is not possible so what am I missing please?

Interesting. I did not know that... Thought EN was still going through VC funding. 

Ages ago I was a LogMeIn customer for quite some time. Signed up when they started and got a "lifetime $$$$ annual renewal offer" (Think it might have been like $39 / year). A few years later they totally did not honor the original deal even though I raised it up through the customer service ranks and showed the original email order confirmation. Left a very bad taste in my mouth about that company. 

Coincidence? Big Coincidence? [Go for it, Seinfeld fans!] I think perhaps not. 

Sorry. I was wrong. I was prompted to check by another poster. There does not seem to be any association between LME & EN

Where did you find this info @Herbie?

Glad you asked. You prompted me to check & I was wrong.  LogMeIn does not seem to be associated with Evernote.  They do own LastPass.  I apologiseto all concerned.  

After experiencing things I didn't like with V.10 and reading all the complaints, a bell rang in my head.  Evernote is owned by LogMeIn.

LastPass is also owned by LogMeIn and a very similar update scenario occurred with LastPass.

I am seriously entrenched in both LP & EN as they worked well before their major updates.  In future I am afraid I will be very cautious about using any other products from the LogMeIn stable. 

p.s. 7/11/2020    SORRY SORRY SORRY..... Evernote does not seem to be owned by LogMeIn.  Be very cautious about believing what I say.

I`ve just installed the new v. 10 and I just couldn't believe my eyes: oh, no, they kept most of the horrible beta version they realeased a few weeks ago!

I would't call it an upgrade. I see it as a new concept, a whole new design - and they turned the back to old customers, simple as that.

I spend 90%> of my computer time at Evernote. It has been so for the past 11 years, my workflow is based on Evernote, I have thousands of notes.

They messed everything up.

My first shock (not yet recovered): they killed the local databases and syncing. Who asked me if I want to have all my notes on the cloud ALONE?

I'm collecting a list of missing functions and I'll add to this node.

For now, my statement is that the downgraded their own piece of software. They sacrified a robust desktop client in favour to an Andoid-like app: just the basics.

Not my idea of a note taking software.

I found (stumbled on) that if I go File>LOGOUT (i.e. not QUIT) I'm asked if I want to backup locally. Dunno where that local backup goes though as I don't see a "browse to where you want it to go" option. I'd like an option called "Backup locally to" to replace the old "Export as .enex" (or what was wrong with the old system anyway?)

I have encrypted notes. In my desktop version I can de-crypt & paste into the note, but with the Web version I can only paste above the decrypted area.

Perhaps the system will be refined sometime.  There's some underlying bugginess but I can live with it. 

Sorry for lack of clarity Jeff.  I was using the free Evernote for Desktop v.6.22 at present but I have experienced it with all previous.  I am referring to encrypted notes.  Both my questions applied to those. The entire note is encrypted, not just a section.

When I say "on my other screen" I mean on my other monitor screen (I have two, side by side).  My second question refers to the situation where I have a completely encrypted note open on my lefthand monitor and a website page on the other.  When the encrypted note disappears it is only the encrypted text that vanishes, leaving the "thing" one clicks to bring up the password but the encrypted text is gone. Then clicking the thing brings it all back (without needing the password), but by then I have often lost focus on where I wanted to paste the text I copied from the webpage.   The Evernote text does not always vanish when clicking on the webpage.   It is not a major problem but rather a minor intermittent annoyance bug.

If I select some note text and then attempt to change its size from Tahoma 10 to 16 it works only sometimes.

If I have a protected note open on one screen then click on a website on my other screen e.g. to select/copy text, the Evernote disappears and I have to click the thing that requires the password again.
