I'm having trouble finding an efficient way to gather info I find while researching a particular topic on the web. First, I used to hightlight pieces of information and paste into Word but that wasted a lot of time since I have to click on Word; paste; close etcetera.
Then I looked into Onenote and Evernote. Well, I can just right-click and save the whole page or bits to Evernote. But every new bit I collect saves in a new document. So, I end up having lots of documents with one-liners. Does Evernote have a way to correct this?
What I'm looking for is a method/software which allows me to collect selected lines of text from a webpage in a streamlined way. I don't want to have to open and paste every time I want to save something. Also, I need a program that allows me to gather info in the same single document for the whole session of reasearch on one particular topic.
Any tips, programs or methods?
Do you want to preserve formatting, or is plain text okay? – iglvzx – 2011-12-06T00:18:34.773
Plain text is fine. Having both as an option is good too. You got an idea? – verve – 2011-12-06T21:59:34.003
Is the content you are trying to save follow any type of known pattern? IE, content in bold, uses certain words, is a select size (one line, one paragraph) – ehime – 2011-12-05T23:38:50.087
Sometimes just a line, sometimes a paragraph. No known pattern. – verve – 2011-12-05T23:51:16.963
Well, I always use IE 8--that a pattern? – verve – 2011-12-06T22:08:03.407
