neil154 0 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I have a Galaxy S3 and I also have a Win 7 64 bit PC, both with Evernote. I almost always create a note on the PC and then it syncs with my phone with no problem. Some of the notes were made by using the Evernote add on in Outlook 2003 & 2007 (recently upgraded). When I open up many of the notes on my S3 and try to edit it is says " This note contains some unsupported formatting". The notes are simple text and do not contain webclips so I am confused why I get the message and would like to know how to correct it and not get the problem in the future. Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,589 Posted March 3, 2013 Level 5* Share Posted March 3, 2013 The Android client is not able to edit all formatting that the desktop clients support, unfortunately. This is slowly improving, but I can understand that it's not ideal at this time. Link to comment
neil154 0 Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 Okay but what I don't understand how I got this problem. The notes are all simple text notes without webclips (which I do not know even what that is). So why do I have the issue at all. Link to comment
neil154 0 Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Anyone have any thoughts on this. Also, I create a new note in Evernote and then do a copy of the subject and then a copy of the body the "new" note is fine and does not give me the message about webclip and can be edited normally on my S3 Link to comment
iNik 46 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Is there a "simplify formatting" option? There used to be one on iOS, don't seem to see one on Android. Link to comment
neil154 0 Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 I don't see that option. Link to comment

It may look like plain text to you. But just as a very simple web page may look like plain text, there is some underlying formatting code. As you posted, when you simply create a new text note by typing text (and not getting it from some other source like Outlook or a web clip), then it's fine. BTW, web clips are clips you can take from web pages. Link to comment
