One Note and Evernote are two different beasts and work completely differently. That you can copy one note text into MSWord and then into Legacy should not be a surprise as both products are from Microsoft. You must remember that Legacy is a database product not a word processor. Databases do not like the special characters used in word processors. In my IT days, people used to copy directly from MSWord into the database causing huge cleanup costs before we knew better. Below is a link which describes the differences between the OneNote and Evernote products.
