I'm one of those strange people who still uses WordPerfect (why? The answer is in the title). I am accustomed to writing, or transcribing and editing a newspaper or magazine article in WP. If I want to save it in EN, I copy (or cut) and paste it into a new Note. I just wrote two sentences in Verdana and Lucida Handwriting - and EN changed them both into standard EN text. No big deal.
Yeah. Evernote is restricted in fonts. It only has access to what you see in the menu and not system fonts as different devices have different fonts. Bit of a pain if the formatting is important.
Thanks Jon. Any difference between importing a Word document the way you describe, and copying and pasting the text into a note (other than convenience if it's long)? Better format retention perhaps?
You may get a bit better formatting, it keeps colours, but some stuff comes over looking a bit strange. If the format is important, then copy/paste and edit may be useful. I tend to prefer the content in plain EN style.

That's a neat trick, very useful.
Thanks Jon.
