Entourage Calendar Events Off By A Day

[misselizabeth]

Every single one of my calendar events have suddenly shifted by a day.
All of the yearly birthday events as well as one time only events,
both those in the past and future are now shown in the box on the day
earlier (ie if a birthday is on May 26 it is instead shown in box on
May 25). When I click on the event, the shows the correct date in the
dialog box, but it's in the wrong calendar box. This started before
the most recent update, which I hoped would fix it, but it hasn't. I'm
using Office X 10.4 on a 15" Powerbook G4. Has this happened to anyone
else? What do I do? Thanks!

Make sure that you have applied the latest updates from Software Update
(under the Apple menu).

Then, download and install the latest Office 2004 updates, which are the
Office 2004 11.3.3 & 11.3.4 updates.

In Office 2004, use Microsoft AutoUpdate to get the latest updates. From
any Office application, go to Help > Check for Updates (or manually launch
Microsoft AutoUpdate from the Applications folder). If any updates are
needed, they will display in a sheet, at which point you can check them and
press the "Install" button to download and install them.

Updates can also be found at the Microsoft web site:
<http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.aspx#Office2004>

If that doesn't help, it could be caused by incorrect time zone settings.
Quit Entourage, and go to System Preferences. Open Date & Time Preferences,
and click the "Time Zone" tab. Make sure you have a city in your time zone
selected. Then, go back and make sure the date and time are set correctly.
If they're not, correct them and click the "Save" button.

Now, launch Entourage, and go to Entourage > Preferences (Entourage >
General Preferences in Entourage X). Under General Preferences, choose
Calendar. Set the default time zone for new events to the local time zone,
and click OK. New events should now display properly. You might need to
open previously created events, and go to Event > Time Zone > <Your Time
Zone> to change them so that the times display properly.

If that doesn¹t take care of it and you use Entourage X, check out this
page. You might want to check out the unofficial workaround for Entourage
X.
