data from 'company' field doesn't appear when I view 'tasks'

[Flip]

I have hundreds of contacts in Outlook 2007 (but I had the same issue in
2003) and I keep track of to-dos by scheduling tasks. When I switch to task
view (to do list, tasks), the fields "company" and "business phone" are
empty. The data doesn't come across to this view.

Secondly, in 2007 when I open up a task, there are no fields available to
show who the task is associated with...I'd like to have company name, contact
name, and phone number.

This has to be elementary, it's a fundamental function...am I doing
something stupid?

Thanks!
