Thanks PE... very disappointing but it makes sense. I would go back to a previous version to get the flexibility of the touch bar (using colors, underlines, bolds) and strangely enough some of the new M2 MacBook Pros DO have a touch bar - which I would buy just because I do use it. Yet another disappointing updated feature (or not) with the evolution of Evernote. The spacing with check boxes is still not what it should be either. May have to begin looking elsewhere. Thanks again for your thoughts.
