Printing Attachments
Hi
Can you please tell me if there is a way of printing the attachments
automatically when you print the email - ie not having to open each
individual attachment to print?
I am running entourage 2004 version 11.4.0
Many thanks

Simple? Just moved to Entourage from Apple
I am a long term user of Outlook at work, and like the fact that Entourage seems to "feel" like a home user's version. Just enough to make me comfortable.
I have imported all my Apple mail info, no problem, and Entourage seems to be working fine, including being the default.
BUT... I cannot for the life of me export my apple address book (or conversely, import it) into Entourage. I know people have done this successfully. Can you please help me.
thanks in advance.

Restoring Entourage database
I have a PowerBook 15" G4 running Entourage 2004. I recently got a Blackberry Pearl that I have been synchronising with my Mac using the PocketMac Synch Manager. When synching it has been bringing up reminders of meetings that occurred up to 3 years ago and asking me what to do. As I thought it was only the reminder for these meetings I have been selecting "Delete from Mac" from the options available.
Today I had to check details of a meeting last year and found that all Calendar events have been deleted from Entourage prior to January this year. I've been backing up to an external drive and found a copy of the Entourage database from December 2007. I've transferred this Database to my hard drive, but can't work out how to restore the database from this file. When I hold down Option and start Entourage I only get options to rebuild the database from the Main Identity backed up today. Other identities that I can see give me an error message that "There is no such disk".
Can anyone tell me how I can get Entourage to load the old database file to Entourage? If the rebuild overwrites the current data I assume I can then Synch again from my Blackberry to get meetings since December...
Any assistance much appreciated! Tag: Office 2008 Calendar Won't Print Tag: 89303
Entourage Frustration
In my humble opinion, one of the worst features in Entourage is the fact that when you delete an email message it automatically goes to the next (newer) message. When I used Outlook and had my emails sorted form newest to oldest I would simply start at the top and it would automatically move down the list. Is there a way to make Entourage 2008 work the same? Thanks.

Sounds Bug
I just found out Sounds are broken in Apple Mail application too with
Leopard.
One of the fixes they gave was to use Growl, however I haven't tried this
with Entourage. Thought I would put this out there to see if any of you
sound and script gurus could come up with something workable.
<http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1199018&tstart=250>
1. Install the latest version of Growl (1.1.2)
2. Follow the instructions on this page:
<http://forums.cocoaforge.com/viewtopic.php?t=15587>
3. In the Applications tab in the Growl preference pane, you'll see one
called "New Mail Rule"
4. Click on it and select "Configure"
5. Then you'll see the "Play Sound" drop down box. Pick your favorite mail
sound.
And that's all there is to it. Not only does this get Growl working with
Leopard, but it also gives you your new mail sound back.
They also mentioned the Play Sound script used in a Rule as I have mentioned
before. Directions here:
<http://www.entourage.mvps.org/rules/sounds.html>
1) Download David Blache's Play Sound application here.
<http://microcosmsoftware.com/playsound/>
Install Play Sound. To install, drag it to any location on your hard drive.
The first time you call the Play Sound application in a script, AppleScript
may ask you to locate the application file if Play Sound is not running.
2) Create "Custom Sounds" folder in your Microsoft User Data folder. Drop
the New mail sound into this folder.
3) Create AppleScript and drop into Entourage Script Menu Items folder.
set cusrPath to (path to "cusr" as string)
set soundAlias to (cusrPath & "Documents:Microsoft User Data:Custom
Sounds:newmail.mp3") as alias
tell application "Play Sound"
play soundAlias
end tell
4) Create Rule. Be sure to uncheck Do not apply other rules. Make this the
top rule.
All messages
Run AppleScript Script: [select your New Mail.scpt]
Note: it can drive you crazy getting notified by every mail. I much prefer
being notified by category for mail.

Address Book View
I'm new to Entourage (using 2008) and would like to be able to view my address book entries as business cards like I did with Outlook. Is this possible?
Also, is there a way to set up Entourage so that when you open a new message the address fields are simply laid out at the top of the message like in Outlook instead of being in a separate pop-up window? Thanks for the help.

Meeting Invitations to iCal Users
I've had different results inviting others to a meeting. Invitation recipients who are Outlook users get the invitation and can reply just fine. Recipients who are iCal users (as in Mac's iCal program which complies with the industry standard iCal forum) get an email that has the details of the meeting embedded into it but do not have the ability to add it to their calendar or accept/decline the email.
If you know of a fix I'd be grateful. Tag: Office 2008 Calendar Won't Print Tag: 89289
Seeing more hours in the day in Calendar view
Okay, so this one has to be simple and I'm missing it. How do I change the number of hours in a day that I can see in a fixed-height window size in week view in the calendar.

Trouble sending attachments
Hello: I've got version 12.0.0. and have a few problems. (1) Can't send attachments, even though I've been everywhere looking for help within Preferences, Settings, etc. etc. Everything seems set up to do so. When I try to send an email with an attachment like a document, it eventually goes to my "drafts" folder, and never gets sent. I go back a day or two later, and the same thing happens again when I try to send. I've sent pictures with no problems. I'm using Leopard if that helps.
(2) Not all mail I send goes to the "Sent" folder.......leaving me to believe it was never sent.
Thanks for any suggestions. I appreciate your time. Tag: Office 2008 Calendar Won't Print Tag: 89277

Long Delays in Sending Messages
Hi --
I'm running Entourage 10.1 (2006) on a MacBook with OS 10.5.1. I have this set up with a yahoo account. Lately I've been having problems sending messages. They leave the outbox immediately, and show up in the sent items folder right away, but they aren't delivered for 5 or 6 hours. If I log on to the yahoo account on the internet and send a message through that site, it is delivered (and received through Entourage) right away. Any ideas?

Office 2008 fonts sizes are a mess...
is anyone else experiencing completely wrong font sizes? does anyone know what units they are attempting to present fonts in?size 11 is non-existent, and teh prefs allow a size 7, but the compose window doesn't... any thoughts on what is happening here? i haven't even gotten to a point where I'd install new fonts on this brand new computer... Entourage is the only app that does this, even my other office apps are fine (s far as I can tell)...
I sent a test email to myself to try to figure out what to use for the benefit of my clients... what 2008 claims is shown in paren, but what it actually equals visually and when you highlight it in office 2004 is listed at the right. (I sent a copy of teh email to myself and read it on my old computer still showing with 2004 until my migration is complete)
Text size example (claims is: 12) = 16
Text size example (claims is: 11) = 14
Text size example (claims is: 10) = 13 I guess... it won't say?
Text size example (claims is: 9) = 12
Text size example (claims is: 8) = 10
Text size example (claims is: 8.2) = 10
anyone...?

Awful default fonts in Entourage 2008

Can anyone help me with these questions?
1) the default fonts for the list of email in my inbox, the headings of the columns the list of mailboxes etc etc. is just awful and appears blurry with a shadow like effect behind it. How can I change these to more readable and clearer fonts?
2) I want my inbox list to show the columns FROM, TO, SUBJECT, DATE RECEIVED, ATTACHMENT, FLAGGED etc - how do I do this? In Outlook on PC I just right click and choose field chooser - but how do i do this on Mac Entourage?

Calendar Sync with Exchange 2003
As with 2004, I am able to interact with our Exchange Server 2003 for Mail, LDAP, and GAL. I am also able open another user's calendar in the GAL and view it with no problem.
So, given all of that, it makes no sense that when I create a new calendar event, invite others in the GAL (which it finds fine), then look at "Scheduling", not only does it not see the schedule for those I have invited, it doesn't even display MY SCHEDULE!
Does anyone know why this is? Is it possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

entourage stops syncing with exchange server
After using entourage 2008 successfully since it came out several weeks ago, yesterday evening I noticed i was not getting any mail (I usually get around 60 - 80 a day). Today it did not pull anything from exchange - big issue! Heres what I have tried:
1. I have a PC, which also has the same user account. Opened outlook, and it updated - sure enough, about 40 emails.
2. on the mac (macbookpro, 10.4.11 and all updates) I have a second admin account. created the same entourage account as a test, and sure enough, it synced and had all the new mail. Went back to the original account - no joy.
3. turned off the automatic password for the account - no difference.
4. trashed the prefs (althought there seems to be far too many, probably from 2004) and still no difference.
5. calender events do sync - calendar invites that I received on Outlook today (that I cannot see in entourage mail items) are visible in entourage calendar.
6. I also sent an email from the PC, and that does show up in my sent items in Entourage! But still no mail since yesterday in my entourage inbox!!!
6. I have also removed all the new mail from my inbox on the PC/outlook to see if it was a bad mail that was blocking it. No difference.
The only other thing I can think of is rebuilding the database, but that is going to take some time since it is about 3.8GB ;-)

Rnd Rx into Drafts??
I have a user who started receiving his corp. Exchange email into both his local (Foldes on My Computer) Inbox and his IMAP Inbox. It seemed that this was divided between mail received from inside and outside the company, respectively.
Now, email is being received into his Drafts folder as well. There are no rules in place and I've deleted his old database file and created a new one. His account was recreated and re-sync'd. The problem persists and appears to be getting worse.

Printing email messages
Hi all
I'm new to Mac and Entourage, another recent convert from the PC. Sorry if this is an obvious question, but I've tried everything with no success.
When I print email messages the header lines (Subject, Date From etc.) appear in very large type and take up loads of room. Also there's no indication that the message contained one or more attachments. (You can tell I am used to using Outlook)
Can I adjust the font size of the header info, and can I specify that attachments should be listed, when present?
Its Entourage 2004 and Leopard if that makes a difference

Can you revert to 2004 by exporting and importing?
Like some others here, I have been very frustrated by the difficulties
of syncing Entourage 2008 with a Palm device. In addition I have been
experiencing instability with Office 2008 that I never had with 2004,
with multiple hangs when I attempt to execute formatting or font
changes in Word. I don't have time to work through these issues, so I
have decided to return to Office 2004, which always worked well for
me, and which allowed easy synchronization with my Palm device.
I understand that the main obstacle in the way of reverting from 2008
to the 2004 version is that 2008 has introduced a new database format
and, while it includes a conversion program to convert from the 2004
format into the 2008 format, the process cannot be run in reverse.
I would like to know if one could achieve the same result (backward
conversion of the database) by first exporting the 2008 data into a
neutral format and then reinstalling 2004 and finally importing the
previously exported data back into 2004. Would that strategy work?

Entourage Won't Launch (And Rebuild Does Nothing)
Hello everyone. I am in serious tech trouble and need some assistance. I recently installed Office 08. For two weeks everything was great, but this morning I tried to launch Entourage and I got the dreaded "Entourage cannot access your data. To attempt to fix..." etc. I can think of no reason why I would have gotten this message. I have plenty of space and plenty of RAM. Alas, I have rebuilt four times, all to no avail. I even tried re-installing the software. Nothing.
In a potentially related note, Word (while functional) also gives me a notice now that says something is wrong with the Database and instructs me to rebuild. Again, Word functions (does occasionally quit on me), but I can do NOTHING with Entourage. If anyone has ANY advice at all, I am completely all ears. Thank you in advance.
