Hmmm... Can't remember. I did what MS told me... Marching blindly into the abyss. I certainly have restarted the Mac since then, but I don't think I restarted the Mac right after updating MS Office 2008. >> I then opened each application, Entourage last.

Snow Leopard was on it, and I then installed MS Office 2008. So... What font caches and duplicate fonts am I seeking, and where are they located? How will I know which are the ones installed by Snow Leopard, and which are the newer MS versions? > I do suggest that you verify the new 08 Identity.

Are you suggesting that in new Entourage 2008 that I export my Main Identity as .rge and then import that back into Entourage?
