Forward Free Text in Outlook Contacts (Outlook 2003)

Hi, When I forward a Contact as a V Card the free text (this is the large
box under the "IM Address" box) does not go with the V Card. In other words
when the person at the other end opens the V Card, everything except the free
text is shown. This did not used to happen - What did I do? Michael
 
If you want the notes section to go with the contact item, you must insert the item in a Rich Text Formatted message to have everything go with it.

Tks Milly,
Just to clarify for this slow Aussie! When I am in the contact, if I go
"ACTION", "FORWARD AS A V CARD", do I just need to make sure that the email
is in HTML format and then the Notes section of the Contact will be included
when the person I am sending to get the email and the V Vard?
Tks MIchael
 
Hi Milly,

I just tested an forwarded a V Card (opened CONTACT then selct ACTION and
then selet FORWARD AS A V CARD) but changed the email from HTML to PLain Text
and then sent it to myself - all the NOTES in the Contact came thru OK. So
this does not seem to be the problem - or am I missing something?

Tks Michael

Hi Milly, TKs for the reply. However, when I open a new message in RTF
format and select "INSERT" I do ot have an option to select ITEM like you are
saying am using Outlook 2003 SP 3) - am I doing something wrong?

Also wehn I used to use FORWARD AS A V CARD, the notes all went OK - so I
think something has changed - just not sure what!

Tks
 
Are you using Word as your message editor? If yes, then use the paperclip dropdown to select "item."
