Not by default.

If you are using OS X 10.3.x, you can assign your own keyboard shortcuts,
otherwise use this script to assign the priority, save it in the Entourage
Script Menu Items folder and name it so it can be run from a keyboard
shortcut (see the built in help for details):

-- Script to set priority of a draft window to 'Highest'
-- Barry Wainwright, 22nd July 2004

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
if class of window 1 is in {draft window, draft news window} then
set priority of window 1 to highest
else
beep
end if
end tell

thanks for your help Barry but now have 2 other roadblocks....

1) have created and placed the script in the correct place but need to save
the email as a Draft before it becomes High Priority - anyway to enable as
high priority without saving as draft?

and

Although I have 10.3.4 and have done some shortcuts am clueless as to
setting this up this script (or any other script) as a OSX KB shortcut.

will name my next 7 kids after you, thanks, robert

If you have a script that sets the priority, and it is saved in the
Entourage Script Menu Items folder (or subfolder thereof), all you need to
give it a shortcut is to add the appropriate suffix to its file name (in
Finder). Read how in Help, topic "Script menu".
