Sorry, that's not possible.
You could open a new task by script instead of via New/Task, and then you
could do it. You can give the script a keyboard shortcut which make it
easier to call. See "About the script menu" in the Help. Here's the script:
set today to (current date)
set time of today to 0 -- midnight
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set newTask to make new task with properties {due date:today}
open newTask
end tell
I'm afraid that the Reminder (which is OFF) will start out as tomorrow if
you want one, and you'll have to turn it back to today. That can't be
changed without actually setting a reminder, which you'd do by changing the
'make new task' line.
set today to (current date)
set time of today to 0 -- midnight
set _8AM to (today + (8 * hours))
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set newTask to make new task with properties {due date:today, remind
date and time:_8AM}
open newTask
end tell
You can always just uncheck the reminder box if you don't want one.
