I have been running Entourage 10.0.0 (which I think dates from 2001) on a Mac Powerbook G4 with Motorola PC processor running OS 10.5.8.
I am about to buy a new Mac Book Pro with Intel processor.
I understand Entourage will not run on the new Mac beacuse of different processor architecture and I will have to buy the latest (2011?) Microsoft Office for Mac - with Outlook for Mac as its e-mail programme instead of Entourage.  All online info I have found on transferring e-mails and contacts from Entourage to Outlook for Mac deals with later versions of Entourage (2004 and 2008). 
Can I transfer from my older Entourage 10.0.0 to 2011 Outlook for Mac?  If so, how?
Grateful for advice!
Incidentally, I have been told that documents created in my old Word programme (2001 version) can be opened and changed by the 2011 Word for Mac programme (in spite of the processor change from motorola to intel). Is this correct?
