Importing data on a new machine

Mike

Hi,

I've been using Office v.X on my G3 Powerbook with Jaguar for quite
some time. I just bought a G4 Powerbook with Panther and want to get
all my data on the new machine. I hooked my G3 to my G4 with a
Firewire cable and transferred alost everything over to the new
machine. The only thing I can't seem to get over is my Entourage
daya: inbox, drafts, address book & calandar data.

Does anyonne know where I could find this info on my old machine so
that I can drag it into the proper folder on my new machine?

Thanks very much.

Mike

Just copy the Microsoft User Data folder from one machine to the other:
<G3 PowerBook>/Users/<Your User>/Documents/Microsoft User Data/
to
<G4 PowerBook>/Users/<Your User>/Documents/

Note that this only works if both machines are running the same version of
Entourage. Also, please remember that this will delete all existing
Entourage data on the new machine. If you want to keep existing data on the
laptop, instead only copy the .../Microsoft User Data/Office X
Identities/<Your Identity> folder on the G3 to the same location on the G4.
Then, in Entourage, go to Entourage -> Switch Identity to access your
existing identity
