ABOUT: This AppleScript will dial a phone number from a contact in Microsoft Entourage.

REQUIREMENTS: The Shareware application Abdialer is required for this script to work. It costs $12 as of this writing.

WHERE TO GET: I have made this script available here

INSTALL:

  1. To install, copy the script (DialPhoneForSelectedContactcC) to the "Entourage Script Menu" folder inside the "Microsoft User Data" folder, which is inside your "Documents" folder. Perhaps typing it this way is easier to understand: /Users -> YOUR USERNAME -> Documents -> Microsoft User Data -> Entourage Script Menu Items
  2. Open Microsoft Entourage and select a contact.
  3. Click the script menu (on the top far-right) and select: DialPhoneForSelectedContact ^C, or use the keyboard shortcut, control-C
