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?

I get this window appear when I log onto my hotmail and want to know if it is genuinely Microsoft wanting info or is it a scam?

At the moment I close the window each time and re-enter into hotmail and all seems ok.

Ok, so, I'm loving my new mac, but am frustrated with the limited capabilities of Microsoft Office. 

I need the ability to edit multiple contacts in outlook. Since I can't export just a group of contacts (not smart, if you ask me!), I need to be able to add a defining column to the contacts so that when I export my contacts to use, I can grab just the two groups that I need. I have catagorized all the contacts, but in the export process, the category isn't included. How can I edit multiple contacts? 

For Example: 

I have 672 contacts in a group that we'll call "Clients". I have 6 other email groups in outlook. I have catagorized all of the "Clients" emails to be the color orange. I now need to add a column, say "Nickname" and have all 672 contacts updated with a "Nickname" of clients so that when I export to an excel file, I can sort by "Nickname" and grab just my "Client" emails to use in an email campaign through vertical response. 

I know this was possible with the windows version, because I did it. Also, the windows version allows for exporting of just certain folders within the contacts. 

Microsoft, PLEASE add this feature into outlook! We have got to be able to manage our contacts better!

Frustrated, 

Lisa
Help please!!!

I upgraded from 10.7.2 to 10.8.2
Had several issues with external monitor, Apple recommended I reinstall 10.8.2
I reinstalled mac osx 10.8.2
External monitor issue resolved (monitor would not stay on when lid was closed)
I then reinstalled norton AV
I then reinstalled office 2011
I upgraded Office to 14.2.4 (had issues but followed the Microsoft developers recommendation to install)
Install completed with success

Problem now is I am getting a popup window "Microsoft Outlook must be closed because an error occurred. Any unsaved work may be lost."
Outlook 2011 crashes

Is this a real occurance or do I need to call my credit card company and dispute this charge?

I am using Microsoft Hosted Exchange Online Office365 service for our business email which manages 5 separate domains. 

Each Mailbox user has different (multiple) email addresses setup as Distribution Groups with SendAs permissions from their primary User Email Address.

Using Microsoft Outlook Web App, we can now choose the FROM address.

However in Outlook 2011 for Mac the FROM pop up is hidden.

Configuration settings for the exchange server points to a Microsoft server with auto discovery. There is nothing entered for the Directory Service.

How do we configure Outlook so that the FROM field is visible?
