Can I use MS Office for work and personal? email, contacts, etc.

[Richard Garneau]

I have a company provided laptop and I need to put personal stuff on it from
my home PC. The key is that I don't want to mix up all my personal stuff
with work (I have 1200 personal contacts in my home version of Office!).

With Entourage on Mac (which I MUCH prefer), I simply setup another account
and everything is tracked separately.

Any ideas are much appreciated.

It's not an Office thing - it's a user thing. You need to make sure you keep
your files in a separate folder. You might want to talk to your employer
first. Some employers do not allow that so that you don't "accidentally"
sent a proprietary file to your golfing buddies.

Assuming your laptop config hasnt been locked down by your Co. you could
copy your outllook home pst file to some specific location on your laptop,
then using the mail applet in the control panel, create a new profile, add
this pst to it, then set OL to prompt for the profile.
You may have some difficulty with using your personal email account settings
when roaming, and of course you would probably need to be able to sync this
laptop pst with your home pst.
I'm not sure if there would be problems if your work outlook was configured
for exchange.
