According to the page you sent as a link [How to create a table of contents with links to other notes], you have to have use of both hands.

1. Select multiple notes while holding down Cmd+click (Mac) or Ctrl+click (Windows).

I am not able to do this.

When you have the list (which includes links to each note) you could create the Table of Contents for that list.

How to create a table of contents with links to other notes

One thing wrong with the way to create a table of contents... I cannot physically do it. I type with only one hand. The other hand doesn't work.

I was thinking about maybe making a master list of links or just making sure that my "general" notebooks have the originals.

Hi.  I'm just old,  but same result:  I need to be reminded of lots of things.  With Evernote though,  you don't need to duplicate notes.  The default view is 'all notes' and any tag,  title or search will find a note anywhere in any stack or notebook.  My only problem usually is that when I search for something I saved,  I never remember the right keywords to use...

I'm old too now. Will be 65 in September. However, I've had the memory problem since I was 17. Had an unexplainable stroke. Having multiple notes saying the same thing is a cognitive trick I learned in occupational therapy along with always putting things back where I got them from, and having a set routine.

I was told about the work-around using shared links. That'll work for me. I just didn't want to lose track of some info. all because it was in a spec. notebook and not a general one too. You see, I have short-term memory loss problems so notes in several places is important for me.

I'm sure this will appear as an overly simplistic answer but you could just "add" the same note to another Notebook. You don't have the ability to modify the original note and have it automatically appear in the latter but a little cutting & pasting would do the trick!

That defeats the whole idea of being able to put a note in more than one notebook.
