Outlook 2007 recurring appointment. Text not updated

[Michelle]

I have a recurring appointment in my calendar. I modified one instance of
the appointment by adding text to the text area. In my calendar it displays
"The contents of this appointment have been updated. Open this appointment
to see the updated text."

If I open the appointment I can see my text, but I want to be able to see it
in my calendar without having to open the appointment.

Any help appreciated,

Be aware that modifying an instance of a recurring appointment will be
an exercise in frustration, as they will get reset if you change the
series. Better to copy the instance to create a single appointment and
then edit that so as to keep your desired information intact.
