Hi Rob, AFAIK the 'No services apply' message is due to SL¹s improved handling of services previously all the services would show but non-applicable ones would be greyed out now only applicable ones will show.
If you want to see real service options in Entourage, for example, first select some text (eg a sentence or paragraph) and then go to the Services menu under the Entourage menu the options showing (for me) include: * Make new sticky note * Look up in Dictionary * Search with Google * New email with selection * New note with selection Your options may vary, depending what other applications you have installed. I must admit, I rarely used ³services² in the past - but I am now starting to find a few more uses for them. Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
