How to paste regular text from Microsoft Onenote to Evernote












1















Using Onenote 2013 and Evernote, when I try copy pasting from Onenote to Evernote I get notes pasted as images instead of text.



One workaround is to paste into Microsoft Word, and then copy and paste to Evernote.



Is there a direct way of doing this?

          From experimentation, this works for me:



          When you copy from OneNote, use Ctrl+C. Then when you paste to Evernote, use
          Ctrl+Alt+V (don't use Ctrl+V). You will be shown options from the clipboard.

          Then simply hit Enter.



          Update: When I originally posted this, I didn't realize that I could do this because of a freeware program I had downloaded called PhraseExpress.

          • For me, Ctrl + Alt +V creates a new note in evernote with clipboard content. Both if I'm in an evernote window or another program.

          For those suffering with this, there is a partial workaround, for pasting only text (loses formatting).



          I use an AutoHotKey script for this. Good thing is it works in any program, not only Evernote.



          Script below, adapted from this forum post.



          Autohotkey - http://autohotkey.com



          $^+v::
          Sleep, 100
          ClipSaved := ClipboardAll ;save original clipboard contents
          Clipboard = %clipboard% ;remove formatting
          Sleep, 100
          Send ^v ;send the Ctrl+V command
          Sleep, 100
          Clipboard := ClipSaved ;restore the original clipboard contents
          ClipSaved = ;clear the variable
          Return

          • The disadvantage is that is also removes the formatting if you are copy-pasting from/to applications like Word, where you might want to preserve the formatting ... Still, a nice solution

            I resorted to Pasting into Notebook then CNP from Notepad to EN.



            Not smooth, but it worked :-/



            This is on the latest EN release on Win7 and OneNote 2010.

            • This is the same approach the OP is trying to avoid, only using Notepad as the intermediate app rather than Word, so it isn't really a solution to the question.

            I just found a third-party solution to this issue. The clipboard manager "Clipboard Fusion" has a standard "scrub" feature which allows OneNote clips to be pasted as plain text. This is a partial solution but I still needed to manually re-instate any necessary text formatting.
            I contacted technical support and they have just provided me with a macro which enables me to paste fully formatted text! I have not tested it on complex formatting (tables etc) but it certainly transfers basic fonts and styles.

              Should the macro you're using be part of your answer? It's not much help without it!

                Inspired by the other answers using AutoHotkey to tackle this issue, I've created a AutoHotkey script that changes the Ctrl-C command to remove the formatting when copying text from OneNote. This avoids copy-paste of formatting/images/files from breaking in other applications.



                $^c::
                Send ^c ; Do a normal copy to clipboard
                sleep 100 ; Wait for the copy to finish
                WinGet current_application, ProcessName, A ; Get the name of the current application

                ; if the application is OneNote, and the copied content is text ...
                if ((current_application = "ONENOTE.EXE") && DllCall("IsClipboardFormatAvailable", "uint", 1)) {
                clipboard = %clipboard% ; remove the formatting
                }
                Return

                    I resorted to Pasting into Notebook then CNP from Notepad to EN.



                    Not smooth, but it worked :-/



                    This is on the latest EN release on Win7 and OneNote 2010.

                    • This is the same approach the OP is trying to avoid, only using Notepad as the intermediate app rather than Word, so it isn't really a solution to the question.

                    I just found a third-party solution to this issue. The clipboard manager "Clipboard Fusion" has a standard "scrub" feature which allows OneNote clips to be pasted as plain text. This is a partial solution but I still needed to manually re-instate any necessary text formatting.
                    I contacted technical support and they have just provided me with a macro which enables me to paste fully formatted text! I have not tested it on complex formatting (tables etc) but it certainly transfers basic fonts and styles.

                      Should the macro you're using be part of your answer? It's not much help without it!
