Please pardon my cross post but it seems those who might have an answer are
properly paying more attention here than on the MacOE-talk list.
As a part of the package I received in preparation for Apple Demo Days I
received an "unlicensed software" copy of Office:Mac. I have attempted to
become familiar with the software. Entourage has been particularly ornery. I
installed it and the first thing I attempted to do was to import my primary
identity after archiving, backing up and deleting. Big mistake. After about
a half an hour the import seemed to be complete. I switched to another
program and when I switched back I got a type 3 error and was never able to
get Entourage to run again without locking up while retrieving mail at start
up (my old rules did have a number of AppleScripts). OE5 & IE5 continued to
function properly but AIM also locked up shortly after starting. I did a
clean reinstalled of my system, reinstalled Office:Mac and AIM, same result.
Then trashed them both and reinstalled on a separate partition with a clean
system. Now I can't import anything into Entourage. I tried a Now Contact
file, "Import from Now Contact not completed because Apple Event timed out".
A small indentity from OE5, immediately says that the import is complete
with nothing being imported.
It may be that this "unlicensed software" does not allow for imports, which
would be perfectly understandable, but if so, a warning would be
appropriate. If not, there is something not well. I'm running OS9.04 on an
iMacDVSE with a cable connection.
Any ideas? I'd surely like to be able to promote one of the most valuable
pieces of software for the Mac with some experience.
