That seems to have done the trick! Thanks Diane. I had the MS Office file but the MS Entourage file was not in that directory. Putting it in made spotlight appear in prefs, so I am rebuilding as I write. Seems like that is a bug on MS's part, and could be easily addressed in the updater (which I had just run to bring me up to 11.3.6, per Roger's suggestion).
Thanks all for the help! ------------------------------------------- Bob Virzi ------ Forwarded Message From: Diane <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: "Entourage:mac Talk" <[email protected]> Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2007 13:18:34 -0700 To: "Entourage:mac Talk" <[email protected]> Conversation: Turning on Spotlight Subject: Re: Turning on Spotlight On 9/10/07 11:52 AM, "Bob Virzi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > But I do not see 'Spotlight' under General Prefs, it seems to be missing for > me. You're probably missing this files: Microsoft Entourage.mdimporter and Microsoft Office.mdimporter should be in root Library folder: Library/ Spotlight/ You can download the files here and manually drag it to the Library/Spotlight folder. <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/downloads/Spotlight.zip> For some reason, updaters have failed to install the files. One incident where this happens is when you are running a pre-Tiger OS where Spotlight wasn't an option. You upgraded Entourage but your OS couldn't be upgraded. When you did upgrade the OS, unless you went back and re-installed Office, the mdimporter files would be missing. Other times, they just didn't install. You might need to restart and run Repair Permissions to get them to show up after installing. Let us know if you still have problems. -- Diane Ross, Microsoft Mac MVP Entourage Help Page <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> Entourage Help Blog <http://blog.entourage.mvps.org/> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/> ------ End of Forwarded Message -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
