Title: Re: Templates?

I use a script to do this, attached below. Note that you need to select the contact in the contacts pane for this script to work. I suppose I could make it also work with the contact in the current window, but have not gotten around to that.

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
   set Sel to the selection
   set Stype to class of (item 1 of Sel)
   count Sel
   if the result is not 1 or Stype is not contact then
       error "You must select only one contact."
       return
   end if
   set contact1 to item 1 of Sel
   -- company
   set company of contact1 to "The Company"
   -- business web page
   set business web page of contact1 to "The URL"
   -- Business address fields
   set street address of business address of contact1 to "The street address"
   set city of business address of contact1 to "City"
   set state of business address of contact1 to "ST"
   set zip of business address of contact1 to "00000-0000"
   set country of business address of contact1 to "USA"
   -- main phone number
   set main phone number of contact1 to "+1-415-555-1212"
   set business fax phone number of contact1 to "+1-415-555-1213"
   -- Japanese format
   set Japanese format of contact1 to false
   set sync with palm of contact1 to true
end tell
