Office 2004 Entourage -- Duplicate Address Book and Calendarentries

E

Edward M. Baum

I just installed Office 2004; I have been using Office X using the
Assistant. When I open Entourage 2004 all my Address Book entries are in
there twice, as are all the holidays and previously entered recurring dates
in Office X.

How can I remove the duplicates other than by hand? What is causing this?

Thanks.

Are you using an exchange account? It could be that these items got
duplicated because something caused entourage to believe the data held on
the server was not already on your computer.

There are some scripts at <http://www.macscripter.net> to allow you to
identify and remove duplicate entries, but it may be easier just to list the
items, then use cmd-click to select the alternate duplicates before hitting
delete.

You can list all calendar entries in this way by doing an advanced find for
'name contains "a" AND name does not contain "a"'
