Mac Forum / Applications / Entourage / October 2006Option to have toolbar shortcuts to "create new. . .task, note, contact, calendar event, etc."
I know that I can go up to file and choose "new. . .task" or "new. . .note", etc. Or, I can click on the calendar, or note icon to switch views and then click the icon for "new". Is there a way to add a button on the toolbar so that I can do all of these within the mailbox view WITHOUT having to go up to file to choose? Hi Michelle, unfortunately, it's not possible to customise Entourage's toolbar. You should request that feature by clicking on Help>Send Feedback on Entourage. You do know that there's a "New" button in the toolbar, with a tiny black arrow next to it, which allows you to access the same menu as File>New? It's still a two-step procedure, but I think it's quicker than File>New.

You can do these actions with a script. Look under the script menu. I believe there are several default scripts that will get you started. If these are not default let me know. Create Event from Message Create Note from Message Create Task from Message Create To Do ScriptBuilders <http://scriptbuilders.net/> is a great resource for scripts. If you are not familiar with using scripts with Entourage see: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/script/index.html> SignatureDiane Ross, Microsoft Mac MVP Entourage Help Page <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> The Entourage Blog lists the EHP as one of the top five Microsoft Entourage resources. <http://blogs.msdn.com/entourage/> |
