Microsoft Entourage Value-Add Scripts*
The Value-Add package includes three AppleScript scripts for Microsoft
Entourage� 2001.
The Copy Contact's Information script enables you to quickly copy a
contact's name, address, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses to the
Clipboard. The Open Contact in Entourage script lets you quickly open a
contact by typing part or all of the contact's name. The Swap Work and Home
Addresses applet enables you to quickly switch a contact's work and home
addresses. For information about how to use a specific file, see the Read Me
for the file. Note: To use these scripts, your computer must be running Mac
OS 8.5 or later and have Microsoft Entourage 2001.
Cheers,
Diane
