Windows 10: Outlook - Notes field - Is it correct there is no 'Notes' field?

When creating a new contact, there is "Notes" box.
I have searched and searched, there are a lot of fields, including 4 UserFields, but I am afraid I can't find a specific "Notes" field.

OTOH when I wish to import a .csv file and have to map fields, then "Notes" does show up.

Am I overlooking a field?

Outlook 2007 task note field formatting

Just upgraded from Outlook 2002 to Outlook 2007 on my Windows XP PC. Previously, the formatting in task note fields was always preserved on my my WM5 and WM6 devices using ActiveSync 4.5.0 (unless the notes field grew large and was truncated). Now, any
edit on my PC using Outlook 2007 to a task note field removes all formatting on the WM5 and WM6 devices when sync'd. On the other hand, edits on the WM5 and WM6 devices do not remove the formatting on the PC after sync. Is this behavior by design or is it
a bug with (hopefully) an available fix. Can't find it documented anywhere. Since I use my devices to sync two PCs, it will eventually cause the loss of all formatting in the task notes fields on the two PCs.

 

Searching Text in Contact Notes Field

Yes you CAN search the notes field (for any text) in a contact, but ONLY with Nokia's Search Utility (free download
http://mobilesearch.nokia.com/index.html).

The Address Book application is limited to searching by first name, last name, and company name only.

The Nokia Search Utility is very good, but it's not exactly fast. Generally speaking the Symbian operating system requires patience.

It's worth knowing that Nokia phones impose a limitation on the size of the notes field in an Outlook contact. The limitation varies from each Nokia model. But for example, notes (in a contact record) are limited to 255 characters on the N80, and 1,000 (one
thousand) characters on the N95. On my old Nokia 6600 there was no such limit imposed, which was great. I often wonder why the oldest model phone had better support for Outlook sync, than the latest models - perhaps it's all about memory conservation.

I also use the notes section in my Outlook contacts extensively. Ideally I would use a Windows Mobile device for true Outlook synchronisation. But I can't find a Windows Mobile device as capable as the N95, so I tolerate and find work arounds Nokia's sync issues.

Nokia do a good job of updating their software frequently. Hopefully if it's demanded enough, they will remove the limitation on the size of the Notes field.

Microsoft Outlook 2003 also has a limit on the size of the Notes field in a Contact Record, but it's much more generous at over 1,000,000 (one million) characters.

Come on Nokia! Stop truncating the notes field!

Text truncated on device - Notes field in Contacts

Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 ActivSync Windows Mobile 6 to HTC phone. No problems with the sync of Calendar/Contacts/Tasks except that the Notes field on the phone has the above text truncated message on those Contacts where I have made long notes. I use
these Note fields to record Sales call history, and so would like to be able to have them on my phone. Is there a way to enlarge the amount of text allowed in the Note field?
