Default Help: Outlook 2007 Recurring appointments

Hi:

Hoping that someone can help with this. I often use particular occurrences
of a recurring appointments as a 'holding place' for an agenda for the
particular appointment. I just switched over to Office 2007 and find that
when I paste text into the appointment the paste occurs and I can save the
appointment but when I re-open the appoint, the text I just pasted isn't
there. What gives?

You opening the same instance (and only the instance; not the series) in
both cases? I just tried it on mine and it worked perfectly for me.

Default Outlook 2007 Recurring appointments

Hi Ben:

Thanks for your response. I'm opening only one instance. I paste or type
some text in, then click save. There's no indication that the save didn't
happen. Then I close the occurrence; again, there's no prompt to save
(because I already have). When I preview, or open the occurrence, the text
I just entered isn't there.

What if you close without saving first, as a test, and see if it prompts you
to save.

Hi Ben:

Yes, that was the first thing I tried. No prompt to save. Weird!

This gets even weirder!

I have a recurring event into which I've inserted some conferencing
telephone dial up numbers.

If I edit a single occurrence of the event, and delete the conference
numbers, then save the event, the default text (the above conferencing
numbers) are gone from the event.

Then I re-edit the event, past in some new text and save the event - pretty
normal so far. When I reopen the event to edit a third time (or just look
at the event in the preview pane), the conference numbers that I deleted in
edit #1 are back, and the text I just pasted is nowhere to be found!

Depending on how you modify a recurring event, the item may be being
regenerated, which eliminates exceptions.

That's pretty weird. Aside from Brian's take that the item may be getting
regenerated somehow I'm afraid I'm a bit stumped.

Hi Brian.

Not sure of what to make of your comment. The only options of modifying an
event that I know of is either modifying the series or modifying a unique
occurrence. Is that what you mean?

In any case, the modifications that I'm doing are the same as what I did for
years with previous OL versions - simply adding or pasting text into the
event.

Update on this issue:

I can add text (by typing) to an event and save it and the changes stick.
The problem seems to occur when I past something into an event.
