I want to import information into the large field on the bottom right hand
side of my contact page.  What is this field called?  Can I map to it when
importing from Excel?

I thought "Notes" was the feature that was like a "sticky note".  I tried to
import from an Excel field that was titled NOTES into the Notes field when I
mapped it, but none of my information imported.

Have a look at the Contacts Folder in Phone List View and show the Notes
field.  Is it the one that you want?

I'm not sure what you mean by "show the Notes field".   I went to the Phone
List View and when I chose the "Auto Preview" feature,  my information shows
up in my existing Contacts.  How can I import into this field?  When I mapped
to the NOTES field during my import, none of my new information imported into
this field, so I wondered if this field had a different name rather than
"NOTES".

When you were in the Phone List View you had a row of Field names as the top
row.

Show the Notes field as well. Turn on the Advanced Toolbar and use the Field
Chooser to drag the Notes column header onto the table beside the exiting
fields.

Yes!  That is the field and information that I want as I look at my existing
entries in Contact...now I want to import additional Contacts, but haven't
been able to import into that particular field.  I will try again tomorrow
and see if I just missed something.  Thank you for your help!
