Barry, please don't take this personally. Your help is generous, and the
article is very well written and helpful. But oh my god. Transferring
files from Office XP to Office Mad requires, siphons, a dozen eggs, two
fork-lifts, and six hours of meditation?
If MS sold Entourage as a separate program, this ridiculous problem would
have been solved 5 years ago. As it is, they don't really care if I abandon
Entourage for the new (hopefully significantly better) version of Eudora,
which does have full cross-platform compatibility.
What am I going to do, start using Word Perfect? VisiCalc? Lotus?
There is probably something terribly difficult about writing a little
program to manage such things or including a cross-platform utlitity in
Entourage, but I suspect it might be within the grasp of Microsoft's
software engineering.
And I'm sure they would love to do it if anyone gave them budget for it.
Complaining like this is doing my part, I figure. At least they know that
everyone is not happy.
Best,
