The fabulous SEARCH option



Facebook groups have a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious "SEARCH THIS GROUP" box toward the upper right, on the menu bar.

WHY?

  • preservation
  • photos
  • color-code
Try it you'll LOVE it!

With Evernote, you can group notebooks together so you can access them easily."
What then follows are directions for accomplishing this on a Mac and a PC.
