HELP NEEDED: exporting to Outlook on Windows

Does anyone know how to do this? I thought exporting from one MS program
to another would be relatively seamless, but so far, I can't figure it
out. Some online solutions sound... complicated.

Is that as good as it gets?

Allow me to do a simple Google search for you:

The very first Google hit describes a process that seems extremely
simple to me:

Thanks, but this one also only addresses contacts and e-mail.

Does anyone know a way to transfer all of my Entourage data, including
calendar, notes, to-dos?

Thanks. I did the Google search before my post and had found the article
you suggested. It describes a method for exporting/importing e-mail and
contacts, and while doable, isn't what I would call 'simple'; I would
think they'd allow you to export to a file that Outlook could read.
Worse, it doesn't give any info about how to export/import notes,
to-dos, or any calendar items, and I'm trying to do all of that, if
possible.

It seems not many people actually *want* to move from Entourage to
Outlook. Usually it's the other way around - they are moving from
Outlook to Entourage. I'm betting that's why you're not finding much
in the way of help.

Just out of curiosity: Why would you want to move from Mac/Entourage
back to Windows/Outlook?

Got a new job with a PC/Windows office. Trying to transfer all the data
from my ibook to a Thinkpad.

I'm not married to Outlook, though. If someone has a better suggestion
for a PIM on the Windows side, I'm all ears.

You might be better off asking on a PC list. We're Mac users and not many of
us are cross platform users.

Sorry!

Fair enough. I've been a Mac user myself almost exclusively for the last
dozen years, so it's a big shift for me.

Of course, our home network (3 machines) are all still Macs.
