You¹d need to find your OLD user folder (and I don't know if this was archived or not), you¹d probably go to: Hard drive (whatever it's named) >> > Previous Systems >> > Users >> > Your user (whatever it's named) >> > Documents >> > Microsoft User Data >> > Office 2004 (or Office X) Identities. Inside the OLD Office (version) Identities folder you should see subfolders with your information in them.
OR, you might try using Spotlight and ask it to find ³Microsoft User Data,² and look for a folder called Microsoft User Data that is somewhere within the ³Previous System² stuff...or on your backup drive, if you backed up your user before upgrading to Leopard. My suggestion would be to click on the Microsoft User Data folder and then go to the File menu at the top of your screen and select Duplicate to make a complete copy of this information that you will leave right where it now is. Then, drag the original Microsoft User Data Folder onto your desktop and let it sit there. Then, go to your present user (whatever it¹s named) and from there to Documents and open the Documents folder. Rename the Microsoft User Data folder that¹s now there (the new one), by just adding a ³2² to the name, or something, and drag it out of there, onto your desktop, for now. Drag your OLD Microsoft User Data folder (which does not have the new name) into the Documents folder. Try opening Entourage. If it all works, then take the NEW Microsoft User Data Folder that you dragged to your desktop, drag it into the Trash, and empty the trash. I have moved all of my Entourage data from computer to computer this way, with no problem. It should work, as long as your new and old copies of Office are the same versions (I presume you had to reinstall Office, and if so, did you do all of the many updates for it???). The trick will be to find your OLD Microsoft User Data folder.
