I'd like to be able to maximize the Entourage window. I'm a Macbook Air user with limited screen space. I've tried various Applescript methods and the Zoom button but none will provide a fullscreen without losing the Toolbar and Favorites bar. Is there a recommended approach to maxmizing the Entourage window ?

I'd like to be able to maximize the Entourage window. I'm a Macbook
Air user with limited screen space. I've tried various Applescript
methods and the Zoom button but none will provide a fullscreen
without losing the Toolbar and Favorites bar. Is there a recommended
approach to maxmizing the Entourage window ?

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "without losing the Toolbar and
Favorites bar"? I can click on the green zoom button and the window will
fill my screen while these two bars remain visible.

The Zoom button does "almost" maximize, but not quite on all 4 window boundaries. The widest gap is always on the side where the Dock is; left in my case.

The script below maximizes fully, however in Entourage it hides the Toolbar, Quick Search Bar and Favorites Bar. It works as expected in Word, PowerPoint and nearly everything else I've tried.

tell application (path to frontmost application as string) to copy (run script "tell application \"Finder\" to desktop's window's bounds") to bounds of window 1
