I have recently installed Microsoft Office 2003 as well as an add-on
named Respond (from systems and seminars). I did not import any data
into Outlook.

When I add a note to a contact and save it, it is not there when I
re-open the contact later. This appears to only happen when there are
two names in the first name field, such as "Jim and Betty Smith" or
"Jim & Betty Smith."

If I have a contact with only one name in the first name field, such as
Jim Smith, I have no problem with Notes.

Is there any reason I should not have two names in the first name
field, such as Jim and Betty?
