That's all there is to it. Paste it into Script Editor and run it, or save as compiled script and put it into Entourage script Menu items if you might run it again sometime: it's faster that way too. (Call it "Sync All". Then make another script replacing 'true' with 'false' and call it "Sync None". You can run them from the Script menu then.)

This is for Entourage 2001 only - X does not have such a property, since it has more sophisticated syncing by categories and a simple setting in HotSync Manager.

PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - 2001 or X. It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise.
