That's kind of weird as I always keep the apps up-to-date when the apple app store reminds me – updated on 25.7 to 10.17.8. Whatever – I've now updated to the latest version.
Yes, as I said above, I followed the procedure you suggested and it worked. Thanks again!
Maybe I'll give the new version another chance – but as I said, I've been pretty dissatisfied with it up until now (after being a happy Evernote user for years).
Cheers!
