Feature requests

J

John Laudun

Anyone know if it's possible to get a preview pane in the Notes, Task, and
or Calendar views? (Like you can in Mail and Contacts.) Seems like bad (read
inconsistent design) if you can't. I tend to keep my calendar in the month
view for quick scanning of what's ahead, but it'd be nice to have the day in
detail below or to the side, where the puny version of the task list sits.

Same goes for Notes and Tasks. It'd be nice to flip through them, the way
does mail or contact, and "preview" their contents. This seems like basic
functionality to me -- see an app like Formation for the effect. I remember
putting a request in back in Office X.

If it isn't possible, does anyone have a better link to submit feature
requests for the next Entourage. The one built into the Help menu, after
passing through Passport -- for goodness sake -- takes you to a huge list of
support and contact options. Sorry, but I'm trying to be helpful and I don't
feel like digging. (Extra jab: Apple doesn't make it this hard. And
certainly most other shops don't as well. For goodness sake, Entourage is an
*e-mail* program. I could e-mail a request. Oh. That would be too easy.)

No, it's not possible.

Submitting feature requests and bug reports is all futzed up. Furthermore
Microsoft refuses to explain exactly what happened, but my very strong guess
is that they ended the contract of some outsource group that was doing it.
we are assured that they are in the process of resolving this situation, and
that a better solution than before (the reports you submitted didn't
necessarily get anywhere useful0 is "just around the corner". In the
meantime, submitting such reports and requests on these newsgroups is the
best policy, although Microsoft's monitoring of them is not consistent: your
best bet is on the Word news group. But even here will work: if tit's
something that has not been raised before, the MVPs can and do forward it to
the product group.
