You may have read my “I heart Evernote” post a week or so ago. I’ve had a few people ask about how to do text formatting (i.e. bullets, bold, italic etc.) using the Evernote desktop app. It is possible, just very hidden.

If you double click on the title bar for your note (light blue bar at the top of a note with the title in it), the note pops up in its own Wordpad-esque window that has… you guessed it, a text formatting toolbar.

Now, I’m not quite sure why they didn’t add that in to the main interface. Seems like a logical thing to do. Until that change is made, the feature just a double click away.

Now I still heart Evernote. I mean seriously Evernote and I have taken our relationship to the next level and I can overlook its little flaws like this or the way Evernote makes a choking sound when spitting out its toothpaste or leaves its shoes all over the house. I love it too much to let the little stuff get in the way.
