Set times by typing

I could swear that I used to be able to set task and event times by
typing, not just by clicking the arrow keys at one point.

This functionality seems to have vanished. I'm using Entourage 2004
ver. 11.2.1 and Mac OS X 10.4.3.

This is a function that is sort of necessary, in my opinion, to make
Entourage work like a business app of some efficiency, rather than a
candy-colored piece of eyecandy. Having both in one app would be even
better.

I'd also love to see short date entry, where I could type in 11/04/05
and have a date field in a task or event read it and file it
appropriately, while I'm wishing for things. . .

Thanks!

I'm a bit confused. In you create a new task in 11.2.1, then check the due
date or Reminder fields, then type "12/2/05" and press tab, it correctly
resolves to Fri, Dec 2, 2005. The same is true for the Start and End boxes
in the calendar event dialog. Am I missing something?
