Import Excel into tasks

Can anyone help me figure out how I take a list of tasks created by someone
in excel with dates and somehow magically get them into entourage as
separate tasks (I would hate to have to type them in again there are over
three hundred tasks) Help Please !!

You'd have to be an AppleScript expert to do it. There's no "magic" answer.
It all depends on how it's been set up in Excel. Someone familiar with both
Excel and Entourage AppleScript would be able to do it. Since the
particulars are unique to you, you won't find a ready-made script. You might
be able to commission someone to do it, but it's not likely to be cheap.

Hmmm, this seems to be a feature in entourage that would be useful, I¹m not
talking about being able to even necessarily import dates etc. I just want
to create a list of actions from a list of text either tab or comma
delimited, word format, excel etc. etc.

Oh well

Thanks anyway. By the way thanks for import-export entourage ­ Nice work
