Thanks for the response. And I would appreciate your assistance in moving my post to the "Feature Request" forum. I imagined that this would never be a "on top of everyone's list" issue, and share your view that it is unlikely to be a priority or get addressed anytime soon. And your workaround (split the table) is a good one. Wish I had thought of it myself.

I create a daily journal note each day, that is basically a table with a new row for each hour. I use it to jot down brief notes and keep track of activities throughout the day (Sample attached) During any given hour (row within the table): If a meeting or activity occurs that warrants a separate note, I can insert a link to that note at the point in the calendar when it occurred. If a phone conversation or an informal check-in meeting with a staff member that does not warrant a separate note and there is a follow up action required, that's where I want to capture it. However, in Evernote for Mac if the cursor is placed within a cell in a table (e.g.; the 10:00 a.m. row), the option to create a task there is not available: CMD-T only creates a task in the default tasks note (e.g.; "Things To Do") The "Task" option is greyed out and unavailable under the insert button (+) The New > Task only creates a task in the default tasks note (e.g.; "Things To Do") I understand that I can create a checklist item - but there is no way to view all "open" checklist items across all my notes (analogous to what can be done with Tasks) to ensure tasks don't get forgotten or left undone.

Penultimate already does offer a very rudimentary level of integration within Evernote. But it has such a poor handwriting experience and is so limited and clumsy in its functionality, as compared to any of the numerous alternatives that I would not view Penultimate as a viable or desirable path towards integrating typed and handwritten notes within Evernote.

On your iPad, open a note containing typed text. Press and hold your Apple Pencil between the lines of text where you want to insert inked notes. A space is created where you can ink. (You can expand or shrink it with the triangular buttons on the left margin. This works fine on your iPad. But it doesn’t work so well if you print to PDF to add the content to Evernote. All of the typed text appears on the resulting page first; all your separate inked insertions are pushed to the bottom of the page.

I have found several IFTTT widgets that will do what I want to do: automatically create a new note each day for my daily journal entries. The title is always the date. What I haven't figure out how to do is get the note title to show date only (not time of note creation). I am not overly particular about the format. Jan 2, 2021 Jan 02, 2021 January 2, 2021 Saturday, January 2. 2021 January 02, 2021 Any of these would be acceptable. [I have also found ways to create notes with date in the title shown as something like: "210102" and variations on this style formatting. They are useful for performing chronological sorts and searches, but are nerdishly unhelpful if you are trying to create a journal/diary that captures history in a format that actual humans can relate to.] The IFTTT widgets I have been able to find or cobble together can perform the task, of creating the note but the TITLE of the note created always includes the time trigger as well:: January 02, 2021 at 5:15 AM It's not s huge deal to go in and manually delete the time indicated, but that kind of defeats the whole purpose of creating an automation. Can anyone help?

If I use web clipper in Safari on any of my Macs I am getting a bizarre behavior. Once the clip is done, you are offered the options of opening the newly created note in the web version or the desktop version of EN. (I have noticed that Web Clipper is a little unreliable unless you immediately open the note in Evernote on the same device that you used to create it.) If I choose to open the desktop app, an old version of the app (one that isn't even installed on my computer) launches (Version 5.0), starts the slow and lengthy process of loading all my notes (several thousand of them) and freezing out any further activity until the process is either finished or I force quit the old Evernote. Evernote, Safari, Web Clipper and MacOS are all fully updated on all my computers. Searched the discussion boards and didn't see anything like this. I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing it?

I am afraid Notability shares the same defect as Noteshelf and Goodnotes in this regard. All those lines of typed text (including any blank lines in between) are contained in a single text box. It is a possible, but crude solution to add blank lines of text between lines to create space for ink - but all that does is increase the size of what is still a single text box that a single layer of inked notes are added on top of. The rub with that: Say I insert line breaks to the typed contents and add inked notes after the first agenda item, and then do the same after item 2. If I need to go back to add additional inked notes under item one, I need to add additional line breaks from my keyboard, and now the inked notes that come later are out of place and overlapping other typed text. What I need is something that will allow be to actually INSERT an adjustable ink “canvas” to write on BETWEEN separate lines of typed text - not create white space within a text box that I can write on top of. Apple Notes lets you do that, but there are other problems with transferring the final note to Evernote. If the meetings I am in always proceeded in a direct, linear fashion, and I could always predict how much space for handwritten notes would be necessary under each item BEFORE the meeting began, I could construct a template to work around this ... but that’s not real life for me. Thanks anyway.

Thank you for taking the time to respond, DTLow. I know that (like Noteshelf and GoodNotes) Notability allows you to combine text, ink and images on a single page. But the specific thing I am looking to be able to do is this: Copy 8 lines of text from a Word document (for example, eight topics from a meeting agenda) and paste them into a note. Create space between any two lines of text, where handwritten notes can be created (and everything else shifts down to accommodate the ink) Neither Noteshelf nor Goodnotes can do that. Can Notability? Apple Notes can do this, but can't handle the transfer to Evernote.

I am a longtime Evernote user, and it is my core and single point where all knowledge is capture and stored. I take handwritten notes on my iPad in meetings, seminars, etc. I capture and store them in ink and do NOT often convert handwriting to text. All I want to do is to be able to capture both handwritten and typed text inputs into a single note in Evernote. I have tried ALL the big note taking apps (Noteshelf, Notability, Nebo, Apple Notes, etc.). The handwriting experience is superior, but getting things into Evernote is a tedious, multi step process, and it does NOT allow me to combine/mix/alternate between typed and scribed. Here is my use case: I can import a typed agenda into an EN note. I now want to go in and add handwritten notes of various length under each agenda item. So, essentially, create space between typed lines of text, and nest my handwritten notes on that agenda item under the appropriate typed text. I know that this is precisely what Evernote allows you to do by inserting a sketch, but to be frank, the Evernote handwriting feature is poor. It doesn't feel like a pen or pencil, the resulting handwriting is sketchy and even worse than my own poor penmanship. I need another way to do this and still end up with an Evernote note entry. Once that's done, I may come back to that same note and add additional typed notes, document attachments, etc. So solutions like Penultimate and Noteshelf, which segregate the notes into synced notebooks and don't allow editing in Evernote won't do. So far, the best "integration" I have found is with Apple Notes. It's handwriting capture feels natural and looks great. It lets me insert handwritten space between lines of typed text. (Albeit, often leaving a lot of white space before and after the handwriting, but I can live with that.) I can then send a copy of the Apple Note to Evernote, but Evernote takes all the handwritten sections as separate images and moves them to the bottom of the note, leaving the originally typed text at the top of the note. (My handwritten notes are no longer connected to the written text item they are associated with.) Does anyone have a better solution or app to accomplish what I am trying to accomplish?
