Adding email To Do to Project Center To Do list

When I flag an email as To Do from my inbox, and assign it to a project, it doesn't show up in my Project Center to do list. The Project Center to do list seems to only be able to see items entered as Tasks. Any help?

Your observation is quite correct; the Project Center does not know about to
dos, and it only includes tasks. However, your email still appears in the
project email section.

Thanks for your reply!

Is there any workaround? Can I convert an email easily into a task? Like most people, the bulk of my To do's/tasks comes from emails so it would be great to have this feature.

Can I convert an email easily into a task?

One of Entourage's default scripts is Create Task from Message. You can link
the task to the message.

Thanks! I don't know how to activate that script. Can you tell me or point me to a link that will explain?

It's on the "Script" menu, which is the icon to the right of the "Help"
menu.

Scripts are like menu items. You can select from the Menu bar or activate
with a shortcut. I did a series of articles on using scripts in Entourage.
Start with #1. It's written for newbies. You don't have to write scripts to
use them.
