Outlook 2002 seems to be missing an option that was available in earlier versions—the ability to insert a shortcut to a file in the notes section of a contact. On the Insert File dialog box, the options are Insert, Insert as Attachment, Insert as Text, and Insert as Hyperlink. The hyperlink is messy and takes up too much room. Has Outlook 2002 removed the option to insert a shortcut?

One way to do this is to drag the file's icon from it's folder into the notes section. A shortcut to the file is automatically created. Also, the Insert File button worked for me, although I was uncertain if it just added the file or created a shorcut.
