You should be able to write notes into calender (like a diary)

[rawlingsclan]

I want to use Outlook Calender as a diary as well as a schedule, but in a
paper diary you can write notes etc. When I put Outlook Notes into the
Calender it sets up appointments so you get lots of conflicts with times.
Perhaps text boxes in the Calender would be useful.

Perhaps just double-clicking on a day and typing notes in that big white
space that appears is an option for you.

Have you tried using the Journal in Outlook?

10 out of 10 for sarcasm, unfortunately 0 out of 10 for usefulness. I do not
want to instigate an endless list of appointments which clash with each other.

 

[rawlingsclan]

I don't think Journal does it. All I want to do is to write notes or
comments or aide memoirs or thoughts-for-the-day or retrospective things like
"took cat to the vet today" etc. like I would in a paper diary.

 

[Bob I]

A 1 minute at 0000 isn't going to clash. And one "appointment" provides
plenty of room for a full days set of entries. Perhaps just a little
ingenuity on your part would provide the answer, instead of asking for
yet more "feature bloat" to answer a non-problem?

I use All Day Event for similar items on my calendar. In Day view they
appear at the top. Or you could possibly use OneNote.
