Hyperlink in E-mail to Website

A

I have not been able to find the answer to this. I did see some older
posts on the topic but I can't believe I am not able to get the job
done in Entourage.

I am simply wanting to hightlight a word or words in an e-mail and
create a hyperlink to a website linked to those words. It's simple --
every mail program has the option! What's up with Entourage?

Unless I am really missing something here which I am hoping is the case
because it seems so stupid.

Look forward to hearing on this and thanks.

There is currently no way of inserting a live hyperlink into an Entourage
message, at least no convenient or straightforward way. You can always
insert the URL, with the http:// prefix, and most e-mail clients should
automatically convert them to active hyperlinks.

An alternative, if you are using Entourage 2004, would be to use Word 2004
to compose your e-mail message, since you can easily create hyperlinks in
that program (select some text, then hit Cmd+K). If Entourage is configured
as your default e-mail client, you can, when you're done, go to File>Send
To>Mail Recipient (as HTML) (this is still in Word, by the way). The
downside to this method is that once the document has been passed on to
Entourage, you can no longer modify it, or add attachments.

Yet another alternative would be to use Paul Berkowitz's free AppleScript
Make Hyperlinks X, which you can download here:
<http://scriptbuilders.net/files/makehyperlinksx2.2.1.html>

You can always request that feature by clicking on Help>Send Feedback on
Entourage.
