Add notes to a task or to the project schedule
To include additional or supporting information, you can add a note to a task, resource, assignment, or to the entire project. You can also include a file, such as a project planning document in a Word document, with the note.

Add a note for the entire project schedule
There are two options for adding a note to a project:
-
You can add a simple project note in the project's properties. A simple project note is text-only, with no formatting.
-
You can add a complex project note in the project summary task. Complex project notes enable you to use font and paragraph formatting and to insert objects in your note, such as pictures or documents.
