Project 2007 - Copy notes to other cells

[Mikel Anne]

One of my students has some tasks which will be repeated at different points
during the project (Reoccurring task won't work in this case). Is there a way
to copy and paste his extensive note information without having to open the
Task Information window each time? Selecting the task row to copy and paste
won't bring over the notes.

Anne,
Hmmm, something else must be going on. Normally, attempting a copy and
paste of the Notes field will only take the first 255 characters of the
notes text string or to the first line feed, whichever occurs first.
However, I just did a copy and paste test with a notes string of 480
characters and all 480 characters carried over to the new task.

I used Project 2003. What version are your students using (although
version should not make any difference in this case).
