Did you see the workaround I posted above? -
MAC: Find and Replace?
JMichaelTX replied to keenerguy's question in Evernote for Mac Requests (Versions 7.14 and under)
At the top left of this page. Click on the UP arrow. -
Ability to resize images
JMichaelTX replied to Krit's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 6.25.1 and under)
So, how do you use this with Evernote? Can you edit the images already in Evernote? Where do the batch of images reside? Is there a Mac version? That's where I do most of my content work. -
Import spreadsheet into Evernote table
JMichaelTX replied to JimInSanDiego's topic in Evernote General Discussions
If you have MS Word, I have found the following to work very well: copy the selected cells in Numbers or Excel Paste into Word, which creates a table, Copy Word Table Paste into EN Note -
Allow searches of special characters and stop words
JMichaelTX replied to Bobokie9999's question in General Feature Requests
You can do a Edit > Find > Find within Note, but NOT a Search across notes. -
Sorry, but you are bucking a long-established standard. Almost from the beginning, CTRL-V has pasted the format as copied. It's not going to change.

Password Protected Notebooks
JMichaelTX replied to EvernoteLover9's question in General Feature Requests
If you sign out of Evernote before you quit/exit, it will require a sign in the next time you open Evernote. Note that you must have an Internet connection and connect to the EN Cloud to sign in. -
If you have read the rest of this thread (and the many other threads like it), you will see that this has been long-requested, but that Evernote has not shown any indication that they will provide it. If you want to achieve an "archive" function with what Evernote currently has to offer, see the numerous workarounds suggested in this thread.

Creating a Word Document from a note
JMichaelTX replied to shekala's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Evernote just published a blog which acknowledges that Evernote can't do everything, and that Evernote users will and do use a variety of tools: Speed Up Evernote Workflows with Zapiers Multi-Step Zaps I'm not plugging nor recommending Zapier (I've never used it). -
I am now using Quiver The Programmer's Notebook extensively, for all of my code snippets, and it really works great. Ver 3 brought a lot of new, powerful features, and Ver 3.0.1 looks like it will be released very soon. The developer is very receptive to bug reports and suggestions. See the Quiver Issue/Request List

Creating a Word Document from a note
JMichaelTX replied to shekala's topic in Evernote General Discussions
It's not always a workaorund. Sometimes it's about choosing the right tool. Clearly we don't agree on what Evernote should provide, and that's fine, and I have no problem with you requesting Evernote to do more. Although MS Word has a table function that can do calculations, I almost never use it for calculations. Instead, I use Excel, which is far superior. I don't expect Microsoft will ever turn Word into Excel. Until/IF Evernote provides the features you want, I hope you can find other tools to meet your needs. -

Password Protected Notebooks
JMichaelTX replied to EvernoteLover9's question in General Feature Requests
I know this is not the answer you'd like to see, but I don't see any alternatives to separate Evernote accounts if you want to ensure your personal notes don't ever show up in your work Evernote and/or work google searches. -
Creating a Word Document from a note
JMichaelTX replied to shekala's topic in Evernote General Discussions
I'm not sure that's true. Having and using the right tool for the job is more important, to me, than a little inconvenience. Evernote provides a range of mid-level, sometimes low-level, tools. Often they will work OK. Rarely will they provide the same power and capability as a dedicated tool. MS Word is a great example. If you really need a good audio record, you might try AudioNote. The iOS app sync with the Mac app via Dropbox, and it is easy enough to attach to a EN Note. -
Creating a Word Document from a note
JMichaelTX replied to shekala's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Thanks for sharing. This looks like a great tool. I have downloaded the free home version, and hope to check it out soon. Doxillion Document Converter Software Have you used it yet? Does it do a good job of converting an EN Note to MS Word? -
Merging notes on the iPad
JMichaelTX replied to ikepigott's question in Evernote for iOS Requests (Versions 8.24.6 and under)
I agree. Evernote iOS falls far short of Evernote Mac. And it is not just the apps that need to catch up, the iOS needs to be much more flexible that it is now. Until the iOS supports a common file storage accessible by all apps, it will remain very constrained. The iPad Pro (with keyboard) will work as a replacement for many people, but certainly now all. A MacBook Air 13-in has about the same size and weight as an iPad Pro, yet it comes with a great keyboard, and many times the capability of the iPad. I sincerely doubt I'll ever trade my MBA-13 for an iPad Pro. -
Creating a Word Document from a note
JMichaelTX replied to shekala's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Not klugy at all. Cut, Copy, & Paste have long been the inter-app conduit. If both apps properly support the Clipboard, it will work great. Therein lies the real issue. Evernote is not putting the proper rich text on the clipboard. A copy from Evernote to a paste in Word should not require any reformatting. If it does, then there is a bug somewhere. I suggest you conduct a controlled test, copy from Evernote, and paste into several rich text apps, including Word. If they are all messed up, then the issue clearly lies with Evernote. In which case, I'd suggest that you submit a bug report. Keep in mind that an Evernote button to "export to Word" would just be an automation of copy/paste. If they can't copy the Note contents to the clipboard properly, then I doubt the export would be much better. -
Creating a Word Document from a note
JMichaelTX replied to shekala's topic in Evernote General Discussions
Agreed. Maybe for a few, but I doubt for many. It is easy enough to copy/paste from Evernote to MS Word. It takes ONLY 4 keystrokes: CTRL+A, CTRL+C, ALT-TAB to Word, CTRL+V (these are for Windows, similar for Mac). As I mentioned earlier, if you need to do this many times a day, then a simple keyboard macro can be written. The other option is to just attach the Word doc to the EN Note. Then a simple double-click on the attachment icon opens the attachment in Word. No big deal. IAC, these are your options for the foreseeable future. -
I disagree. The note content is actually stored separate from the Note metadata. I see no issues specific to storing large amounts of data.

MAC: Find and Replace?
JMichaelTX replied to keenerguy's question in Evernote for Mac Requests (Versions 7.14 and under)
I do NOT speak for Evernote. I'm just another paying customer who would also like this "Find and Replace" feature. The voting feature is brand new in these forums. It remains to be seen whether or not it has any impact on the design decisions made by Evernote. But it at least gives us an opportunity to quantify our requests. -
Reminders to iCal required
JMichaelTX replied to mwlodarski's question in Evernote for Mac Requests (Versions 7.14 and under)
I completely agree. I was not in any way trying to discourage anyone from requesting new features. My apologies if I came across that way. One would think so. Many years ago many of us requested a simple Due Date field. After years of promises not fulfilled, reminders was Evernote's answer. Many, many users have also requested a calendar function, but Evernote has not shown any interest in providing it. Who knows if they will, or not. That says it all, right there. If Evernote provides your idea of task management software, then you are all set. I, and many others, find it falls far short of even the basic functions needed for task management. I'm not selling anything, hard or soft. If you are referring to my statements about IQTell, I was just trying to share with others a great solution for an area where, IMO, Evernote is lacking. I'm a huge user and fan of Evernote, and I use it extensively with IQTell. I have no relationship with either Evernote or IQTell, other than being a paying customer. You are quite welcome. Sorry if I came across as anything other than trying to be helpful. Good luck. I wish you the best.
