Value-add AppleScript Descriptions

This section describes the functions of the three AppleScript script enhancements.

Copy Contact Information Script

When you run this script, you receive a prompt to enter search criteria for a contact. When you enter the search criteria (you can enter partial search criteria), the script displays multiple results in a list that allows you to select the contact from which you want to copy information. All information for the contact is displayed after you select it. An option to switch between Home and Work information is provided.

Open Contact in Entourage Script

When you run this script, the interface is similar to the Copy Contact Information script. The Open Contact script allows you to quickly open the form for a contact even if you are not currently running Entourage. This is script is efficient if you have to search a very large contacts database.

Swap Work and Home Addresses Script

When you run this script, you can interchange the information that you entered on the Work and Home tabs of the Contact record.

NOTE: The Copy Contact Information and Open Contact scripts in Entourage are compiled as AppleScript applets and you can activate them when Entourage is not running. The Swap Work and Home Addresses script must be installed in the Entourage Script Items folder so that it appears on the Script menu in Entourage. More information about the proper installation of all the Value-add script can be found in the Readme files that are supplied with all components.
