Don't know explicitly what Outlook sets as size limits for text fields in
its various versions but your problem is not with what Outlook allows but
rather what the target of that data accepts in terms of data limits. Nokia's
limits are their own just as I suspect that the "Paste" function only pastes
1mb of data (never checked it personally so assuming your description to be
correct. Don't have a test file handy at the moment with a 1mb+ field to
check the limits of the Paste function)

In database terms (using MS Access definitions for sake of simplicity) - the
size of text field is 255 characters whereas a "memo" field (or extended
text field which can contain all kinds of different types of data - letters,
numbers images etc) is defined as follows:

"Up to 63,999 characters. (If the Memo field is manipulated through DAO and
only text and numbers [not binary data] will be stored in it, then the size
of the Memo field is limited by the size of the database.)"

In short - regardless of how much Outlook will store, doesn't matter if the
target doesn't accept it and there are numerous things that Outlook allows
that make database programs very unhappy. When you get into "syncing" with
devices that generally have limited memory - not uncommon for the devices to
allow only enough data per field to give an idea as to content versus
downloading everything for a single contact which allows you to download
more contacts overall within the capacity of its available memory.
