General Formatting

Hi hunterjackson,

Rich text formatting for Planner notes is a highly requested feature, and Microsoft is aware of the need for it.

In June 2023, Microsoft announced that they are working on adding rich text formatting to Planner notes. This feature is still under development, but it is expected to be released in the near future.

In the meantime, there are a few workarounds that you can use to format your Planner notes:

• Use keyboard shortcuts. You can use the following keyboard shortcuts to format your text:
  • Bold: Ctrl+B
  • Italic: Ctrl+I
  • Underline: Ctrl+U
  • Numbered list: Ctrl+Shift+7
  • Bulleted list: Ctrl+Shift+8
• Use a rich text editor. You can copy and paste your Planner notes into a rich text editor, such as Microsoft Word, to format them. Then, copy and paste the formatted text back into Planner.
• Use a third-party app. There are a number of third-party apps that can help you to format your Planner notes. For example, the app "Planner Notes + Rich Text" allows you to add rich text formatting to your Planner notes, as well as images, tables, and other elements.

I hope this information is helpful.
