That Help topic is showing the Help that was accurate for Entourage 2001.
Lots and lots of people did not like that behaviour in 2001 and asked for
"all incomplete tasks". So it was changed in X, but it looks as if they must
have forgotten to rewrite the Help. Now a fair number of people (but fewer)
don't like the current behaviour and prefer the old one. Can't please
everyone.
I'm making an AppleScript Studio add-on which will let you choose any number
of days from 1 (today) to 7 (the week ahead) to display events and tasks
lists in one window.
