Address actions

When I click 'copy name address to clipboard' it doesn't save the
business name which seems very odd. Is there a way of making it do this?

Thanks

Unfortunately not.

However, you could use a script to do this...

This URL should load the script into Script Editor:
http://tinyurl.com/bb4qk

If it doesn¹t, paste it in from below.

Save the script as a compiled script & put it in the ŒEntourage Script Menu
Items¹ folder in your ŒMicrosoft User Data¹ folder. The script can be
manually run from the menu or you can assign a keyboard shortcut by naming
the script appropriately (see the on-line help files). Then, just select
your contact and run the script.




tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
if class of window 1 is contact window then
set theContact to displayed feature of window 1
else
try
set theContact to item 1 of (get selection)
if class of theContact ‚ contact then error
on error
display dialog "Please select a contact before running this
script" buttons {"Abort"} default button 1 with icon stop
return -99
end try
end if
set {oldDelims, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {AppleScript's
text item delimiters, {return}}
tell theContact to set theData to {first name & " " & last name,
company, business address as text}
set the clipboard to theData as text
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelims
end tell

[snipped jolly useful script]

Works a treat. Many thanks. (Serious oversight on MS's part though
don't you think?)
