    - Outlook Contacts Missing Notes After Export-Import Hello everyone, I hope my note finds you doing well. I work in for a small business (there are only 7 of us here). Everyone has stand-alone PC's (no network yet, though we are working on it) and we are running Windows XP and Office 2007. I happened to get the lucky task of putting over 650 contacts into Outlook. I could not displace my manager for the gazillion of hours it took to do this, so I did it at my desktop, used the Import-Export feature in Outlook Contacts, and exported them to a disk to upload on my manager's computer. The process was super fast and easy, but you can imagine my dismay when I saw that all the Contacts had imported with the Notes section completely BLANK! I had put very detailed notes in that section for just about every contact -- pictures (jpeg files), alternate addresses, emails of their assistants, etc. Needless to say, I am not a happy camper. Does anyone know of a better way to do this so ALL of my data actually gets transferred? I look forward to your replies, thanks so much.

    - Random asterisks Hello, I'm using an Exchange 2003 server with Outlook 2002 on Windows XP Pro clients. On one of the clients, when the user adds data into a new or existing Contact such as the tel #, repeating random asterisks appear in the field. Once it happens, we are not able to click into that field to delete them.

I know if I change my working day from 8:00am-5:00pm to 8:00am-9:00am it will move the default reminder time to 8:00am as the default reminder time is set to one hour before the end of your working day which is useless as most people start there working day at 8:00am not 4:00pm.

    - Deleting contacts Hi, I was having a clean out and thought I was deleting contacts when in fact I was just deleting them from my address book, which I now realise is an entirely separate thing. Is there a way I can quickly delete the contacts I want to get rid of without going through the process manually again? It would be handy to add a category to all my remaining contacts in the address book at once and then delete any contact not categorized, but that doesn't seem to be possible.

Not an Outlook question. Outlook uses the Windows dialer. AFAIK, it only
supports analog modems. Ask in the group that supports telephony for your
OS.
