Copy Paste Bullet list to Word fails

[Oddible 5]

If I make a bulleted list in Evernote then try to copy and paste it into Microsoft Word the formatting goes all wonky.  The bullets lose their hierarchy in Word (they all appear left justified) though they still maintain their style.  There is no simple way to remedy this.  This undermines Evernote's role in Office-related workflows.  Add onto this the recent dramatic loss of privacy which allows Evernote employees to read my notes and it may be time to just switch to OneNote.

Even if you paste it as unformatted text it still includes hyphens at the start of every line.

Any way to get a bulleted list to be formatted correctly when pasting into Microsoft Word and other MS products?

Crappy, cumbersome solution is to Export the note to HTML then copy and paste it into Word.

Hi.  Does it help to copy a 'blank' bullet layout from Word to a note as a template,  then edit the template to insert extra lines as necessary?

It's been nearly 2 months and still the issue persists.  Do we even know if they working to fix this?

No,  sorry - Like most companies Evernote don't (usually) do progress announcements or trail releases ahead of time...

Same problem for me

I wish that Evernote would fix this issue. I used to have a paid subscription, but rarely use Evernote anymore.

I'm stuck with using crappy OneNote, and on a mac it's really crappy   (maybe that's why it's free?  )

As a law student I often have to copy-paste from either MS word or powerpoint, without this function, Evernote has become obsolete.

Please and I really mean please Evernote-team, do your best to fix this issue, and as fast as you possible can! I would love to come back!

Thank you!

It works if copying the list from an instance of Evernote opened within Safari (and potentially all other web browsers). This worked for both circular bullets and numerical bullets. The same list's bullet format was not maintained when copied from the Evernote application, on my Mac, to Word.

Hi, 

This is the major flaw in what is otherwise an impressive software.

If anyone can provide a solution or at least an update on this issue, I would greatly appreciate it. 

Thanks!

Adding my vote for a feature fix from Evernote for pasting lists. Most of my notes have at least one list. Not being able to copy/paste into Word (for blog posts), Outlook (for work email), or even a basic Google Doc (for collaborating) is infuriating.

Please fix this, Evernote. You make a note application. This seems like basic functionality.

Hi.  Which version of the Evernote client are you using?  They've shown improvements in recent versions,  and there's a new Chrome web interface out there somewhere...

+ 1
Also fails when copying a bulleted list into a (apple) Mail document, which I do many times daily. 
To be fair, bulleted list copy-and-paste so often fails from ANY app to ANY other company's apps, not just EN.  I just don't understand why there isn't a standard formula/code for how to handle bulleted lists that can work cross-applications.  Huge time waster in my life.

+1 million. Evernote, please please please do something about bullet point formatting when copying/pasting to another program.

Play nice with others. Give this noble and just community what it wants most.

I am a loyal Evernote user albeit Evernote's lack of response in address this issue is making me question that loyalty! It is a pain having to reformat bullets everytime I copy into a 3rd party app such as Word, Powerpoint etc.

Hi.  I doubt they're aware that a response is expected - this thread was silent for 2 years before your comment,  and it's for the 'old' -now unsupported- Legacy version of Evernote.  I'd suggest the best course of action would be to use the new Evernote v10 if you're not already doing so and reach out to Support with details of any operations you're trying to complete that don't work.  If everyone feeds back their experience the company can build a picture of where improvements are necessary and how urgent it is for them to address particular issues.

Just as an idea: Anybody thought about asking Microsoft yet ?
