Figure 2-15. Viewing task notes.

Task notes are a valuable way to add detailed descriptions about what needs to be done in a task. A task's notes are easily viewed by everyone in the project, so as project manager you don't have to repeat the same information.

1. Click the Research Microsoft Project 2003 task. Click the Task Notes button on the Standard toolbar.

   The Task Information dialog box appears with the Notes tab in front, as shown in Figure 2-14.

   Let's enter some information on how to go about researching Microsoft Project.

2. Type Research www.microsoft.com and Project help files, and click OK.

   The Task Information dialog box closes. Notice that a little yellow note icon now appears next to the task. The fastest way to view a task note is to hold your cursor over it until its screen tip pops up.

3. Hold your cursor over the note indicator of the "Research Microsoft Project 2003" task.

   A screen tip of the task note appears, as shown in Figure 2-15. If the note is too long, double-click the indicator to view the entire note.
