"Links" Function

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: intel
Email Client: Exchange

A suggestion and question related to the links function in Entourage:

1) The "Links" button should provide an in-menu list of selectable items instead of opening an entirely different window.

2) If a user is trying to link a message to a previously defined Task, the window that appears shows both Complete and Incomplete Tasks as possible link-able items. Is there a way for only Incomplete Tasks to be displayed inside of the Links window?

Great feature but quite cumbersome.

First, please keep in mind that these newsgroups are peer-to-peer. There
isn't much we can do. The best way is to send any feedback to Microsoft .

When working in Office, you can use the ³Send Feedback² option under the
Help menu in all of the Office applications.

Select View --> Incomplete Tasks in the Menu bar.

Good ideas. But this is a peer-to-peer group, not a formal MS support group.
I suggest you send this suggestion to MS through the Send Feedback to
Microsoft command on Entourage's help menu.
