I realize there is already an Entourage GTD thread but wanted to post this separately.

I've attached an Applescript that does the following:

• Duplicates the selected task
• Searches in the body of the new task for the next action (see task format below)
• Gives the new task a title of the next action
• Marks the old task as complete
• If there are links to the old task then it opens the new task and reminds you that there were links

• The attached script should be copied and pasted into Script Editor and saved in the "Documents/Microsoft User Data/Entourage Script Menu Items" folder.
• GTD Projects are created as tasks with titles like this: "[Project X] - Action 1"
• GTD Project actions are listed in the body of the task like this:

I have mine set up to run when I select a task and type Ctrl-G. With the right Custom View you can use this format ("[Project X]") to see your projects list.

I've only tested it in Entourage 2004 because that's all I have.

I offer up the script without any warrantee or guarantee of its suitability for anything. However, it works for me. :)
