It'd make my life so much simpler! Hi,

Currently i am having to use the Notes in Outlook and then "Add to Evernote" if i need to persist it.

Directly in Evernote on the desktop, you can export your data as an Evernote export file (which is actually an XML format as far as I know) or as HTML, which you could view in any browser. I'm actually going to be writing an article next week on <a href="http://HowtoGeek.com" rel="nofollow">HowtoGeek.com</a> about how you can export your Evernote notes into OneNote; all the options are workarounds of sorts, but they do work.<br><br>Another option would be to "print" your notes as PDF; you can print a whole notebook at once, so this is a fairly efficient way to get your notes out. Finally, Evernote has an open API, so other note-taking programs could make a way to import your Evernote notes, or you could even write your own export program if you're a programmer. ;) You are right that it becomes impractical to preserve tags and stuff, but you should be able to technically create a program that would do all of this with the API.<br><br>Finally, Evernote is free for the basic plan, and if you decide you don't want to keep using it you could still access your old notes for free, even if you created them with the pro subscription. So it's actually much less lock-in (in my opinion) than many other similar programs.<br><br>Do you have another note taking program you prefer? As I mentioned, I'm a fan of several different note-taking programs, and I'd always like to hear of exciting and innovative new options :) Actually, Evernote has several ways you can export data.
