But it won't take a page of HTML tags, such as you find in an Entourage message source, and turn it into a an HTML display, such as an Entourage message or web page. I was sort of hoping BBEdit might (since I don't have it!) but Allen says no. Still, there must be apple-scriptable HTML editors out there somewhere that could take an Entourage source and turn it into a similar page. It's very easy to do with _another_ Entourage message, for example. I was hoping, however, to find a text editor that let you do that, and then let you edit the result as regular styled text, not messing about with the HTML tags behind the scenes. (My "Make Hyperlinks" script edits the HTML tags behind the scenes, and contains a signal that calls on Internet Explorer's HTML engine to take over and display it. But it's terribly complicated for such a simple thing, and you never get to see the result in your own screen - it has to be sent.) The trouble with Word is that even if you could get it to render the HTML, you'd then have to do all your editing afterwards via VBA, not regular applescript. It might be the way to go, however. I'll look into if I ever finish my current project, which seems less and less likely... -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
