Importing older data into 2008

Processor: Intel
Email Client: pop

I was really looking forward to MS 2008, but it seems that Entourage cannot import 100% data from Address book, and the MS Word can't open a Word 97-2004 document! I notice there seems to be a few similar related issues in the forum (some even reverting back to 2004!) and if I cannot get continuity of my work and archives there is no point in upgrading. If anyone has found an answer to these and perhaps gone through the same process I would be delighted to hear from them.

This Forum is extremely good but if it cannot answer your question where do you go to get tech help for MS Office?

Hi,

in order for your question to get answered, you will need to ask one in the
first place. We cannot help you if the only information we are given is that
Word cannot open a document and that the import is not 100% reliable. Be
more specific, and you might also want to upload sample files of problematic
Word documents. Describe the errors you are experiencing, tell us what you
would expect to happen and what happens instead.
