Same problem here...

I also recently started having this problem. I have to copy Outlook email text into another app like Word or Texedit and then copy from that to Evernote. What's going on?

[ljCharlie 0]

I have the exact issue. However, I can copy from a virtualize Windows running Outlook into my Evernote on my Mac.

[Squashbuckler 0]

Having this exact same issue.  Highlighting text in Mac Outlook, copying and then pasting in Evernote does not work.  I can paste the text in other applications, but not Evernote.  This is killing my productivity and I'll need to switch to a different note taking application.

Same issue here. As a work around I copy/paste from Outlook to Word (or any other word processor) then copy/paste to Evernote.

[Bala murali 2]

yes I same issue here when I working with mysite https://www.offlineinstallerdownload.com/ i am getting the same error

Since there are enough paying users in this thread to keep the lights burning at EVERNOTE PLACE: Anybody tried Support yet on this ?

P.S. No Outlook, so I can’t try myself.

Evernote? Looks like there are a lot of people having this issue... Any EN staff reading this?

I was experiencing the same issue and got it fixed by turning off dark mode in Outlook. Weird.

I'm also having the same problem. Pasting copied text from Outlook works in every other app besides Evernote.

[Michael.Sch 0]

same problem here

[toadarray 0]

its a dark mode problem (or was for me). as soon as i turned off dark mode it started working again. sounds like EN is aware of the bug. 

[ingridc 0]

same problem here, i hoped the new update would fix it. But I still have this problem.

[dvenumadhav 0]

Yeah, turning off dark-mode resolved the problem for me too... thanks @toadarray and @ReyTol3

[Felipe 4]

same problem, any ETA on solution, I only use apps in dark mode once they support it

[JCHH 0]

Thanks ReyTol3.  I was super frustrated.   Turning off dark mode worked.  I would MUCH rath have it on, but like copy and pasting even more.  Hope EN fixes, but until then, thanks for getting copy and paste back for me!

On the Mac, I got it to work by using shift-cmd-v.   Look in the edit menu for "Paste and Match Style" . I never would have thought of it because it CHANGES the style from White on Black to Black on White.

I shall have to change the meaning of the word "Match" in the dictionary. 

It's been driving me crazy--and that is a pretty long drive!

I'm having the same issue. Also using dark mode in both Evernote and Outlook on a Mac.

[Jeremy O 1]

A few months into 2020 and I'm also having this issue. Won't be upgrading until it's fixed. 

[Jestre 1]

Well, another month has gone by and still no solution for this?  Does anyone ever work on the dev team anymore, or are they only keeping the servers patched and online?

[Felipe 4]

I cannot believe there is no reply.

[PinkElephant 8,088]

Reply from whom ?

This is a user forum. We help if we can. If you need help, issue a support ticket.

[Jeffsterlaw21 4]

I have the same issue. I've just been forwarding the emails into Evernote and then cutting and pasting then. That works but adds an extra step.

[sguillory6 0]

Well color me one more datapoint that turning off dark mode in Outlook works. Thanks for that. I had been pasting to the web version of Evernote and letting the note I wanted to paste into sync. 

[Jeffsterlaw21 4]

I've been just forwarding the email that I want to paste from into Evernote...and then cut/paste from there.

Thanks for the various good workarounds folks. Certainly copy/paste from outlook still does not work in dark mode in v 7.14 of Evernote on Mac.

[brian_t_grant 45]

I've noticed this behavior and found it to be somewhat unpredictable but just figured something out:  I can copy/paste from Outlook into Evernote as long as Dark Mode isn't enabled on the email message itself. In my Outlook for Mac v16.37, there's a button called "Switch Background" which will toggle light/dark mode on the message content. As long it's toggled to the light background, copy/paste into Evernote seems to work just fine for me.

I have the same issue!

This method fixed the problem, but we still want to use Dark Mode in Outlook and still can copy and paste content into Evernote. Why does an easy task become a trouble? I'm a paid user and very disappointed. How can I report this issue to expedite the fixing? 

[G1234554321 0]

Can I just add my voice to the (long) list of folks suffering from this.  I was so excited to get full dark when moving from Windows to Mac; this is certainly annoying.

I mostly posted this for the folks whose workaround involves emailing from Outlook which seems like way more work than toggling off the message pane's dark display for the copy portion. Either way, I agree. That said, I think there's an entry further up this thread about filing a ticket with Evernote since discussion here doesn't mean that an issue is officially reported & will be addressed.

[crobicha 4]

August 2020 and this is still an issue. I use dark mode for everything so no way am I turning it off. Someone said that EN support doesn't monitor these forums? Would they rather just get 100 duplicate tickets?

[bubblegiggle 0]

I have this problem. Very annoying. Turning off dark mode in Outlook for a minute to copy and pasting in EN worked. 

[dognillah 1]

Same issue here. Like crobicha said, there is no way I am going to stop using dark mode. Right now, I have to copy, paste into slack, copy, paste into evernote......

Also, the only reason I am not actively beta testing the new Evernote is because it doesn't have a dark mode. I am so used to it that it freaks me out not to have it that way.

[ajrom123 0]

Same issue. As a workaround I used Flycut to store my copy history and so if I restore from it it work... but please fix it

Same reason for me not using the beta, I would like to use it but not having dark-mode is a dealbreaker

[randbrown 10]

I'm still having this problem with current version.  It works sometimes, but other times freezes up Evernote for a minute.  My workaround is to first paste into Notepad++ then copy that and paste into Evernote.  

[PinkElephant 8,088]

The thread was silent now for 9 months. Hard to say if you have an isolated problem, or everybody gave up.

Maybe issue a support ticket.

[ombus 3]

dear friends,
I offer you the 100% working solution on how to copy paste text with images with 1 click only :

1/ Download Evernote legacy (from official Evernote website: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/360052560314-Install-an-older-version-of-Evernote )

2/ copy/paste text with images with no issues

p.s.: you can have the latest Evernote AND Evernote legacy both on 1 pc, so you can have the benefits of the advanced latest version, with the basic good working copy/paste options of the legacy version

 

Have a great 2023 everyone !
