That worked!  Deleted a few formatting pieces and it all encrypted.  Thank you.

I will have to give some thought to a password manager.  Thanks again.

Well, it worked at some point.  For years I kept some of my sensitive stuff on a single EN note, about 50 lines long, encrypted as a single note.  I added and modified as needed.  Last week I went to add a line and it would let me decrypt it, but not encrypt it back again unless I did it in separate notes, sometimes allowing me 8 lines, other times 15 or 20.  Very frustrating.  Should I be looking at OneNote?

I don't understand the reference to "greatest encryption tool under the sun".  I'm not trying to stump the NSA, just keep it away from thieves. 

It may well be old and tired (like me) but I would still like to know why I used to be able to encrypt an entire note and now I cannot even encrypt more than about 20 lines within a note.  A very unpleasant retrograde step.
