See these direction on how to use the Entourage newsreader:

If you use a newsreader rather than the Mactopia interface to this newsgroup
you can download old messages and search for answers. If you are not
familiar with a newsreader, Entourage's basic newsreader already has the
Microsoft News server included. All you do is subscribe to the newsgroups
you want. See this article for help subscribing using the Entourage
newsreader:

The Entourage newsreader is not robust, but it is easy to use. If you want
more features, try Thunderbird's newsreader.

The Microsoft Component Plugin is the one file that shows the update. It
sounds like this file is missing/corrupted indicating a bad install.

You might need to use "Remove Office" instead of the drag to trash option.

One of the problems with an upgrade version is you must have either the old
version installed or have the Install CD for that version in order to
install. Over time, you could loose the original CD then if you have to
reinstall for any reason you are stuck.

Home & Student Amazon price: $107.99 <http://tinyurl.com/4ydu2u>

Standard Edition Amazon price: $279.99 Amazon price for upgrade: $207.49

Special Media Edition Amazon price for Special Media Edition: $199.99. Yes,
it is cheaper than the standard edition.

See this article: Move your Entourage Identity to a new computer

If you do decide to upgrade to Office 2008, I suggest that you export your
data from Entourage X first. Office 2008 seems to balk at Entourage X
database import.

How to manually move your data. (when import fails and/or you need to move
to a new Identity same version or revert to an older version)

Hope this helps!

I ended up just creating a new account and deleted the old one. It works fine now, it just seemed like the simplest solution to the problem. Thank you all for all of your help in fixing this problem.

PRODUCT KEYS NOT WORKING

Posted: 26 Jun 2009 05:14 AM PDT


The first "what to do" is start your own thread by submitting a NEW message
rather than jumping in as a REPLY to another user's issue.

Even if your problem seems similar -- and in this case it is not -- mixing
conversations with more than one user in the same thread is confusing,
misleading & counterproductive for everyone.

When you submit your new message make sure to describe in detail exactly
what the problem is -- What specifically do you mean by "isn't working"? If
the key you used wasn't valid you would not have been able to complete the
installation, register & receive the PID.

We saw some conflicts with the Safari 4 beta, but AFAIK the final version
has not caused Entourage crashes. Did you restart after installing?
 

It's possible some of the things like fonts that were not removed are part
of the problem. Removing the receipts can also help if the AutoUpdater is
not seeing that you need new updates because it thinks you are already
installed.

Testing in a new User will quickly tell you if the problem is system wide or
if it¹s your User¹s folder that contains the problem. Once you can
eliminate the source of the problem, we can find a solution.

Uninstalling the trial version will not affect your saved data and

folder).

Custom Dictionary Not Available

Word (and no other Office app) allow you to make separate Custom
Dictionaries to be used with different language settings (i.e. the different
language Dictionaries). But if you want your Custom Dictionary to be used
over all languages, then you should use only ONE custom dictionary in Word,
and have it set to "(none)" for language. Do not make the mistake of setting
it to your main language, just leave it (or reset it now) to "(none)". And
that's the one you should also use in Entourage's prefs.

It's possible it's looking to the wrong file. It used to be loose in the
Microsoft folder in Prefs....

"~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Custom Dictionary"

.....but in Office 2008 it's in this location:

"~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2008/Custom Dictionary"

Unless you have the student edition with three licenses, you are not allowed

Problem w/MathType and KaleidaGraph embedded objects

Posted: 19 Jun 2009 07:38 PM PDT

Yes, MathType is an OLE server. I'll explain what that means, in case
people are reading this who don't know what the terms "client" and
"server" mean with regard to OLE...

When an application is an OLE server, that means you can insert an
object from that app into another app that's an OLE client, and
there's a connection maintained such that if you double-click
(right-click, Ctrl+click, whatever) the object to edit it, the
original application (the server) opens up. You can make your changes
and close the server app, and the changes are preserved in the client
app. The server provides the object, and the client accepts the
object.

To put that into terms of Microsoft Office and MathType, you can
insert a MathType object (i.e., an equation) into a Word document, a
PowerPoint presentation, or an Excel spreadsheet, and when you edit
it, you edit it in MathType. Kaleidagraph is able to do this on
Windows, but not on the Mac.

It is possible for an application to be both an OLE client and an OLE
server. MathType is not an OLE client.

(There's a lot I DON'T know about OLE, DDE, and EGO; there are no
doubt much better explanations available with a Google search.)
