Task help please- Panther bug?

J

James Lee

After since I installed Entourage on my new G5 it developed a quirk. Often
when I am typing, and type the letter ³t² a ³Create Task Dialog² opens. The
faster I type the more of these pop up. I don¹t even use the task feature.
How do I stop this? Is it a Panther bug? It is driving my crazy. At least
5 of these unwanted dialogs popped up typing this short message!

Thanks,
James H. Lee, Jr.

Are you sure you're not leaning on your Control key as you type the T? Maybe
one of your control keys on your keyboard is stuck. It's nothing to do with
Panther.

Entourage comes with a few built-in scripts in the Script menu. One of them
is "Create Task from Message" and it has a keyboard shortcut of control-T.
To get rid of this problem if you can't control the Control key, go to the
Entourage Script Menu Items folder in /Users/[username]/Documents/Microsoft
User Data.

Inside that scripts folder you find a file called

Create Task from Message \cT

Either remove the file entirely, or rename it I the Finder to remove the
"\cT" at the end of the name: that's what's giving it the keyboard shortcut.

But I'd recommend checking out your keyboard instead.
