When you save an e-mail message as Simple Text and then open it in Word you
get a swag of headers you have to remove. In addition most lines end with a
carriage return which is a regular pain to get rid of. My understanding has
been that Entourage is an integral part of MacOffice 2001. In practice it is
very far from being integrated, more like being shoved together. There are
features too numerous to list which I have just turned off or ignored
because of the adverse interactions between Word and Entourage in
particular.
