This brings up a pet peeve of mine; that there is no simple "find and replace" functionality in Entourage. For example, I manually use a particular character as a separator in the titles of calendar events. Recently, for reasons which are irrelevant to this discussion, I wanted to change that character globally. Unfortunately, since there was no "Find and Replace" function in Entourage, I had to write a one-time-use AppleScript. I have sent feedback to the Entourage team via the appropriate mechanisms, and would encourage others who would like to see this functionality to do the same.
