Therefor, in Outlook 2013, they completely disabled the Format Text tab and most of the Insert tab to make it more clear that formatting isn’t supported and to prevent potential data loss. However, for Outlook Hotmail Connector accounts, the formatting and attachments in the Notes section also never synchs back to the servers, let alone between devices. Adding and opening an attachment was a breeze as well as they showed in the Notes section. With the Outlook Hotmail Connector, you could indeed add Rich Text Formatting to the Notes section of Appointment, Meeting and Contact items (synching Task items isn’t supported with the Outlook Hotmail Connector). In previous versions of Outlook, this was done via the additional Outlook Hotmail Connector add-in. While it might be perceived as a new limitation in Outlook 2013, it actually isn’t.Įxchange ActiveSync is the new method in Outlook 2013 to sync with /Hotmail accounts. That is one mighty greyed out Format Text tab… via EAS vs. There are of course several workarounds which you can consider when you need to make elaborate/formatted notes to an item or add attachments. While you can add attachments, they don’t actually sync with either and are hard to retrieve as they won't show up in the Notes section anymore even though they are still successfully attached. This is not a limitation of Outlook 2013 but the service simply doesn't support formatting is the Notes field They only support Plain Text. In this case, saving Rich Formatted Text in the Notes field of Appointments, Meetings, Contacts and Tasks isn't supported. It sounds like you are using an /Hotmail account connected via Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) in Outlook 2013. What is causing this and how can I re-active it all again?
The Attach File button actually does seem to work but I can't access the files anymore after attaching.
I always used to be able to add Rich Text to this field and add pictures and other attachments to it but now it no longer seems possible. When adding something in the Notes section of an Appointment, Meeting, Contact or Task item, I noticed that the Format Text tab is completely greyed out and also most of the Insert tab.
