Chris, I appreciate the link. Like the author, I use both Onenote and Evernote. I do find Onenote to be a far superior program as I am more interested in organizing than I am in clipping. There is another well-know genealogy program who's text editor accepts notes from Onenote without any issues. They have an option to strip all formatting from pasted text. Since Legacy is by far a superior program, I have no doubt that the Legacy programmers could redo their text editor to work the same way. In my opinion, Onenote is the best note organizing program and Legacy is the best genealogy program. I prefer using the best, not the second best so I am hoping that the Legacy folks can "fix" this issue.
