Insert hyperlink in Entourage in Office 2004

I have just upgraded? from Office X and cannot find the "Insert
hyperlink" feature.

Has it moved or has it disappeared with Outlook?

Am I missing something?

If it is avail;able is it possible to link to Safari or Firefox.

I use an AppleScript in the Entourage script menu to insert the address of
the frontmost Safari window. Just compile this in Script Editor and save it
in the Entourage Script Menu Items folder. I add the suffix "\coU" to the
file name of the script to give it the shortcut, "Control-Option-U".

tell application "Safari"
set u to "<" & URL of the front document & ">"
end tell
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set X to the selection
set c to class of X
if c is text or c is Unicode text then set the selection to u
end tell

It doesn't exist in Entourage 2004 because Internet Explorer is no longer
being developed for the Mac platform.

You can try using Allen's script to insert the URL of the frontmost window
in Safari.

There are also scripts online to "Insert Safari URLs" and "Insert Firefox
URLs" into Entourage messages. You can find both here:
