Thank you for finding a solution.

Thanks for your helpful post. I can now use full-screen at least on a per-session basis, if not as a default setting.

I opened Evernote in my desktop computer only (not open in any other device) to copy/paste the 4 copies of the same note into Word, and while doing that, Evernote created 2 additional copies of the same note. At that point I decided to just lightly review the 6 existing copies in Evernote, and delete the 5 that appeared the least up to date. I never started the procedure you suggested. My guess is that the copy/paste process from Evernote to Word must have caused Evernote to create the 2 additional copies of the note. Thank you very much for your assistance.

@logandb While trying to follow the instructions you provided, Evernote created 2 more copies of the same note, which added to the pre-existing 4, totaled 6 copies of the same note. At that point I decided to just lightly review the 6 existing notes, and delete the 5 that appeared the least up to date. I may later find that sections are missing in the one copy I kept, but the incessant duplication of the note became simply unmanageable. Thank you very much for your assistance.

Thank you @logandb, @gazumped, @jefito for your responses and suggestions. Since I am not tech savvy, it is essential that the comparison tool I select be as simple as possible for me to use. Of the ones suggested (Word, Winmerge, Beyond Compare), I have only used Word, therefore my questions refer only to Word. However, one of the other two may be easier for me to work with than Word. @logandb: "try copying the contents into Word documents and use a progressive 'Compare versions' to resolve the differences." Although I use Word (Microsoft® Word 2002) daily, I only work with its very basic features, so I am not familiar with the 'Compare versions' element. I did a search on 'Compare versions' within the Help section of Word and the results were: “● Compare and merge documents ● Compare documents with the Legal blackline option ● Troubleshoot mail merge ● None of the above, search for more on the Web.” I read the instructions for "Compare and merge documents" and for "Compare documents with the Legal blackline option". They both refer to "comparing the two documents" when I have four documents to compare, and it is not clear to me which of the two methods I should select for my specific situation. Do I copy/paste each of the four Notes from Evernote into four separate Word documents? Or do I copy/paste all four Notes into one Word document?

Evernote Web Firefox 49.0.2 Windows XP SP3 (1 desktop, 1 laptop, 1 notebook) and Windows 10 (1 netbook) 1.5 Mbps DSL internet service with strong, steady signal strength (1 desktop wired, 3 portables on Wi-Fi) Multiple browser tabs were open with the note being edited - YES; for example, 1 Evernote Web tab open in the desktop and 1 Evernote Web tab open in the laptop, inputting different text in each one at various times. However, in other instances I have had only 1 Evernote Web tab open in only 1 device, yet multiple copies of the note were still created. Windows Evernote client was open with the note being edited - NO; not installed in any device. Other people were looking at the note at the same time you were because it was shared - NO, share is never used. You lost the internet connection while editing - NO I first experienced this issue of multiple copies of one note 6 months ago. I currently have four copies of one note, and since this note is lengthy and detailed, I estimate that it would take two hours or longer to compare all four copies and determine which one is the complete version.
