I have the following 4 questions:
1) Why would I want to flag contacts?
Flagging an item in Entourage 2004 and earlier was simply that: just a
flag that called your attention to it for some later purpose.
Entourage 2008 has extended the flagging concept along with Outlook for
Windows and called these items "To Do" items. A To Do item is a Task
that is created from a mail message, contact, calendar event, etc.
You can just click and create a To Do item or you can set an alarm
and/or due date using the To Do menu button.
2) When I click on the flag it goes to red. I click again, it then
goes to a green check mark. What does that mean?
Red flag means "To Do". Green check means "Done".
3) What is the link column for in my address book?
Instead of copying contact information into an appointment or copying
the contents of a mail message into a To Do item, you can use the Links
menu button to "link" items together. So, for example, if you need to
find all the mail you've sent to or received from a contact you can view
the links from that person's contact record in the Address Book.
You can also, for example, link a To Do with an external file such as a
Word document.
4) What is the contact type for? It is to the right of the links.
The contact record can either be one you've created in your Address Book
or your "Me" contact, which is your default information for Word
documents, etc. This column is more useful for folks who also use
Messenger so they can see who's online.
Hope this helps!
