Diane Poremsky said:The yellow notes or note fields in contacts and calendars? Version of
Outlook?
In at least Outlook 2003 using a Unicode store, it's a lot. I've had up to
30,000 characters in a note. It's kind of useless though, except to store
text, as it's hard to scroll the text. The notes field in other items
should have the same limits - I've pasted from Notes to note fields and
never had a problem.
How you create the note is important - drag and drop between ansi (old pst
format used by ol2002 and earlier) and Unicode stores (Ol2003 only) may
have a limit - the latest updates may help.

Does anyone know how many lines or characters are allowed as a max in
Outlook Notes?
Can't seem to find out anywhere.
tks,
Richard.
Richard Green said:Tks Diane,
I've synched the notes from my yahoo account using their itellisynch for
yahoo software. Each note definitely has less than 1000 characters. Maybe
only 1/3 of the text has been transferred in some notes - seems to be
variable, or maybe there's a line limit? It IS hard to scroll the text,
you're right. I'd like to use the notes feature as a way to store valuable
information online. I'm using Outlook 2003.
Cheers,
Richard.

content into a word doc and do a character count (use the include spaces
option when you count) - see if they all in the same character range.

Richard Green said:Bingo!
The cut off seems to be betwen 6567 and 6733 characters (incl spaces)
Although why its not exactly the same for all notes baffles me a bit.
Cheers Diane,
Richard.
