How to Transfer Outlook Notes?

“I have created number of notes and tasks in my Outlook Profile which I want to export to my colleagues’ Outlook Profile. So I exported it manually and when it was imported into destination, Outlook didn’t show up anything. Instead it showed some error that said ‘Outlook cannot read imported content’. This is driving me crazy as my friend’s Profile is unreadable now. So, I neatly removed the imported notes and tasks and Outlook seems to work fine. Now, I want to know if there is any other way to export Outlook Notes and Tasks. Can anyone kindly help?”
