Tasks pane shows all uncompleted tasks

I

IMF

The Calendar views in Entourage can display a Tasks pane. Searching "Tasks
pane" in help shows the following...

Show or hide the Tasks pane
.. On the Calendar menu, click Tasks Pane.
Tip The Tasks pane displays all incomplete tasks due today or prior to
today.

Currently mine is showing all uncompleted tasks - not just those that are
due or overdue.

There does not seem to be a preference to change this behavior - so it
seems to me that Entourage is not behaving as the help suggests.

Does anyone have any ideas on this?

I am using Entourage X v 10.1.4

Thanks
Ian

That Help topic is showing the Help that was accurate for Entourage 2001.
Lots and lots of people did not like that behaviour in 2001 and asked for
"all incomplete tasks". So it was changed in X, but it looks as if they must
have forgotten to rewrite the Help. Now a fair number of people (but fewer)
don't like the current behaviour and prefer the old one. Can't please
everyone.

I'm making an AppleScript Studio add-on which will let you choose any number
of days from 1 (today) to 7 (the week ahead) to display events and tasks
lists in one window.
