html in Contact \ Notes possible?
I copied html information from a web page and pasted it into the Notes field
of a Contact. It looked exactly the same until I saved it and returned to have a look, the html formatting reverted to tich text (or simple plain text?). Is it possible for me to paste html material into Notes and have it stick? Thanks, DH

It's supported in Outlook 2007.

OK. I pasted html material into Contacts \ Notes but the html formatting
does not carry over. I'm using Vista Home Premium (SP1 beta RC) and Office 2007. Suggestions? Thanks, DH "Roady [MVP]" t wrote in message ...

html in Contact \ Notes possible?
Roady, contact me privately (if you wish) and I'll send you the Contact and
the copied material and you see if you can paste it and keep the format intact. I am using Outlook 2007 and Vista Home Premium with the SP1 RC. I copt the material into Contact Notes and I can see it as plain as day. Once I Save it, close it, and reopen the Contact, the formate changes to what I believe is Rich Text Format. I am at a loss though I must admit this is not a matter of life and death; I'm just surprised. Thanks, davehorne at home dot nl DH "Roady [MVP]" t wrote in message ...

html in Contact \ Notes possible?
Well, I think I found the problem.
I created a brand new Contact and copied the html material to it. It stuck to the hard drive. I'm guessing the Contact I was using was created in an older verision of Outlook and therefore would not accept the material. Does this make sense? At any rate, my problem is more or less solved.

Good to hear. An "old contact" shouldn't have anything to do with it unless
you were using a custom form (which I doubt). See if you can repro it on other "old contacts". -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "Dave Horne" wrote in message ...

I tried this with another 'old' contact and the html formatting did not
carry over. At the very least I'll know how to handle this in the future. DH "Roady [MVP]" t wrote in message ... Good to hear.
