Outlook 2000 SP3 ... how do I specify the line spacing for the Notes
field on the General tab of a Contact?
If I receive an email message with text in it that I want to save; and
I copy/paste that info into my the Notes field for a Contact; each
paragraph (i.e., each line of text ending with a CR) appears to be
double-spaced. If I then copy/paste the same text from the Contacts
record into MS Word I can see (using Format/paragraph/spacing) the
paragraphs actually have 5 points of spacing both before and after. I
can change this spacing to zero and then copy/paste it BACK into
Outlook's contact record so it appears correctly (single spaced) ...
but that's a pain in the butt.
Surely there's a way to just do the SPACING formatting within Outlook?
If not ... why is Outlook getting confused? I "know" it's Outlook's
confusion because I can copy/past the same text from the email message
straight into MS Word and I do not have the spacing problem (i.e., it
looks like single-spaced text ... just like it appeared in the email
message to begin with). In fact, this is my "workaround" for the
problem ... I first copy/paste the text into MS Word and then
copy/paste it from Word into Outlook -- and everything's fine. But
I'm getting tired of doing twice the work each time I want to save
some tidbit of info from an email.
Thanks!
