Default Notes in Outlook 2003

I thought I could right click in that area (that large white space) & add a
note that would attach to that contact I was on, but it looks like right
click is not an option.
I tried FILE - NEW - NOTE , but I still have to go thru the steps to tell
it to attach to the current contact I am on. I guess I can try using it that
way. Thanks for your help.

You mean in other than the default area next to (or below) the contact information - that large white space?

| Thank You, that helps.
| Can I be in a contact & add a note to that contact from there?

|| On the notes file options, there is a place to specify a contact.
|| Click in the upper left hand corner of any note and you will see

||
||| I am not understanding the Notes feature.
||| Can I make a note with some tidbit of info that I want to be
||| attached to a Contact?
||| When I make a note I see no way to say this goes under John Doe.
||| When I pull up John Doe Contact card & go to Activities there is a
||| "Notes"
||| in the drop down but I dont know how to put a note there for that
||| person only. I just want to put infomation & not a task or activity.
|||
||| If I cant use notes, If I put the info in a task & put John Doe as
||| Contact, it also puts the task under me as "owner" & there is no way
||| to remove my name from owner.
|||
||| Also When I bring up a contact & go to "Activities" it wants to
||| default to "ALL Items" which starts bringing in every email. Can I
||| just default to something else like "Tasks" ?
|||
||| I am trying to use this program as a PIM but not having much luck.
||| Do you know is Outlook 2007 is any more useful for personal use &
||| not sales ? Would appreciate any help in accomplishing what I need
||| to do.
