Default Calendar Filter on the Notes field is character limited?

Hello,

I have Outlook 2007 and I am trying to automatically filter events in my
calendar using the AUtomatic formatting feature. I am subscribed to several
work calendars that have rather lengthy notes fields. When I try to use the
filter to search for words, if they are too far down in the text Outlook
appears not to find those words and thus not color code my calendar entry.

If I manually manipulate those calendar entries and move the word I am
looking for closer to the top, then outlook will find the entry.

1. Is there any setting I can change to make outlook search the entire notes
field?
or
2. Is there another way of automatically filtering these events?

Thanks a million in advance for your help,
Nickolas

Any idea how far down the words are when outlook can't find them? Select the
text down to the word and look on the proofing button for Word Count. Word
and character (with spaces) counts are the important ones.
