Stacie 1 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Can you add your own notes when clipping article and saving it as a note? Also, can you clip multiple pieces of an article and have it save into 1 note? Link to comment

Clipping on my Mac, I can specify Notebook, Tag, Remarks On my iPad I can specify Title, Notebook, Tag I can't do multiple pieces with the web clipper Another option I have is the Evernote Helper app which allows for screen clips. I can do multiple clips with that tool Link to comment
Ex_User 10 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 If you want to add your own notes on a clipped article, try OneNote. It allows free-form editing, which means you can add marginalia at the sides of the clipped article. It also has a web-clipper. It may not be as good as Evernote web-clipper but for most part it works just fine. Link to comment

What you're in fact doing is taking a screen shot of your article and writing over it. It's the same as having layers in photoshop. If you ever need to go into the actual article you clipped, for instance to remove comments or advertisements, it is impossible because it is a picture. Good luck on copying some text and using it somewhere else (yes, there's a work around which works 50% of the time). Also, don't clip from your phone or you have an itty bitty tiny picture. So, no for the most part, the onenote web clipper does not work, it sucks. Link to comment

I also avoid editing the clipping content in Evernote There's usually a lot of underlying html code and it gets messed up In fact, I usually convert the content to pdf so it remains intact So. if I add comments - it remains separate from the original content You can add annotations to the pdf, but it remains a separate layer Link to comment
