Re: Putting NOTE in Mac Dock

Take this script, and save it as an application. You can then put thisapp in the dock for easy access. First time you run it it will ask youto select a note, after that it will remember that note and alwaysopen it.

Alternatively, save the script as a script document and put it in theEntourage Script Menu Items folder - you can even assign a keyboardshortcut to the script by using a 'special name'.

Chris,

Sorry, didn't realize you needed to continually update the note. Youcouldprobably make a script that opens the note within Entourage. Thenyou can

put the script in the dock or in the Entourage script menu.

Thanks Dan...
Mac OS X 10.4.11, Entourage 11.4.0 (080122)

Previously tried that.

Mac dock will not open for drag directly from Entourage>Notes>TEST-Note.


Exported TEST-Note to Desktop by dragging.
Creates Desktop>TEST-Note.ics.
Put in dock.
Dock icon opens Desktop>TEST-Note.ics.
Save changes to Entourage>Notes>TEST-Note.
But Desktop>TEST-Note.ics unchanged.

Thus on clicking dock icon again...
Opens Desktop>TEST-Note.ics with original data.
All previous changes gone.
Changes are in Entourage>Notes>TEST-Note.

If make new changes, then save again replaces Entourage>Notes>TEST-Note.


Evidently Dock links to Desktop>TEST-Note.ics
But there is no updating link from Entourage>Notes>TEST-Note to
Desktop>TEST-Note.ics.

Bit of disconnect?

Thanks
