Hi all.

I'm interested in strategies/methods for moving files from the desktop to the notes app and back to the desktop while retaining formatting in the notes app. In other words, I don't want to have to deal with html code.

At present, if I create an html file in MS Word or Nisus Writer on the Mac, change the filename to foo.note.html, and open it in notes on my 770, I get code. No matter how much I strip that code down, I see code in the notes app.

Can anyone move a file back and forth while retaining formatting in the notes app?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Cheers

I looked around for an app like that, but no luck. I gave up and started using NoteCase, it is compatible with Windows, OSX and Linux. It allows basic formating as the Note app and can export to HTML.

I haven't been able to get it to import an HTML file yet....

You might try AbiWord. I tried a version for the n800, and it only saved in Abiword format (a form of XML). But there looks to be a version for the Mac. Abiword is _supposed_ to be able to read and write other formats (such as rtf), but the version I tried didn't. I suspect I needed a abiword plugin to enable RTF.

Hope this helps,

Craig...

As I noted in another thread, Abiword crashes upon importing a file created on my desktop. Works great for creating documents, but I also need to move them back and forth.
