Embedding items from other folders in journal entries

[Charles Kenyon]

In OL 2003 I started a Journal entry about an appointment by dragging the
appointment from the calendar to the journal. I then copied the dates for
two follow-up meetings to the same entry and pasted a Word document
containing notes into the entry.

Are these shortcuts / links or have I actually duplicated the information?
The first shows as a shortcut while the others do not have the arrow on the
icon. (When I run the properties on the document in the journal entry it
shows 68K.) If they are not shortcuts, is there any way to get shortcuts in
an existing journal entry without a number of intermediate steps?

TIA

I answered part 1 of my question. The pasted information is actually an
embedded copy rather than a link.

I created a shortcut to the Word file in Windows and pasted that into the
Journal entry and dragged the other two calendar entries to the journal and
then cut and pasted the resulting links from those journal entries. Any
easier way to get these as links rather than as embedded copies?
