Additionally, it makes accessing the applications simpler. You don’t have to start minimizing windows to get to the desktop to find the alias.

For some reason the “Office Quick View” control strip is missing one major option “ Opening the Entourage application” So I have made and posted a simple control strip to open “Entourage” This has no other functionality, and DOES NOT replace the “Office Quick View” control strip.“For some reason”?

The reason is that the WHOLE POINT about OQV is that it works WITHOUT opening the Entourage application, so that you can get the Address Book, Tasks, and Events of the day (and hopefully, some day, the Calendar) without opening Entourage. Furthermore, it’s supposed to be even-handed between the various Office 2001 apps. (You can get the Address Book in Word, too.) So any module opening E should presumably also be able to open all the other Office apps. This is not what OQV is about.
I imagine that most people keep an alias to Entourage on their desktop or in the Apple Menu or in the Launcher or in a macro utility like OneClick’s Launch Strip, so that they can open E quickly and easily that way. I guess that people who like to have everything in the Control Strip instead will welcome your module. Do you also have options to open Word, Excel and PowerPoint from the module?
