Hi there, I am going to update my Office v.X software to the 2004 version ('finally available' here in Spain), I would like if you could give me some advice, or maybe is it going to be a nice guy and keep all my valuable info? (being my main worry Entourage).

Thanks

Just run the set-up assistant in Entourage:2004 and you'll be fine...

Easy upgrade.

Keep PowerPoint X on your hard drive. PowerPoint 2004 has a major problems -- very slow and cannot play embedded video in slide show mode.

Upgrade done, but Entourage lacks the inbox messages I had (I still have them on Entourage v.X), weird.

I would have advised you not to upgrade. I've found Word 2004 to be unbearably slow, to the point where it was near impossible to type. Word X is far quicker.

You can probably import those mailboxes in (in fact I think the easiest way is to find the mailbox file and drag it into the sidebar of Entourage).

That's interesting about Word's speed. I upgraded from Office 2001 directly to Office 2004. I have never noticed the slow down in Word.

Ignore the argumentative nature of this poster. He is old and can't engage in meaningful dialog
very long. Therefore, management asks that you at least humor him. Thanks.
