INTRODUCTION
For information that doesn't fit neatly into a category, you can use Notes. For example, you may want to jot down ideas you have for a new proposal or product, or you might want to make note of a book or article of interest.
TIP
Using a Heading
Outlook uses the first line of the note as the note's heading. It's a good practice to type a one-line heading for each note so that you can easily identify its contents from the Notes list.
TIP
Changing Note Options
You can set the default Notes options from the Options dialog box. To do so, open the Tools menu and choose Options . Click the Note Options button to set the default note color , text size, and font.
