If I'm sending e-mail it's not a big concern, since the URL *does* > work when received (as you pointed out). Word is actually an HTML editor, which can render HTML tags and so on. That's how it can do such things. Entourage is a very poor relation, as far as I understand They have completely different text engines. There's no good reason for you to assume that Entourage can do the same as Word here if only it tried a little harder. Anyway, I find Entourage's method much more sensible and user-friendly. It's easier to work with, and as soon as I save it i can click it. I agree that URLs in Notes, tasks, etc. should be clickable. -- 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/>
