Default Can an OL folder's Home Page be a non-htm, editable document?

No, they are Post-it like. If you want a powerfull note taking application
which integrates with Outlook you might want to take a look at Microsoft
Office OneNote.

If I right-click on an OL folder and go to Properties/Home Page, can I
somehow get a document (.doc, .txt, .wri, .rtf, whatever) to show up in
that folder that I can then edit as a normal document?

I know I can get an .htm page to appear in there, but I can't edit it. I
pointed the browse function to a word .doc and got something with all the
formatting characters showing up, but I couldn't edit while in the OL
Note.

Notes is a pretty meagre environment in which to write anything more than
a short, well, note. So I'm hoping there's some way I can use something
more powerful while staying within Outlook. For instance, open up a note
and use Word to edit (as I can in an email message), or even Wordpad.
