May have to do a full erase and install of HD -- not an archive and install,
but a full erase and reinstall of Office because of crazy OS permission
issues having.

So, want to ask:
I use Entourage, Excel, and Word. What should I keep in mind before doing
this?

I know with archive and install, everything will get imported beautifully,
but with erase and install, and then reinstalled office manually with cd --
what is the smoothest way to make sure all accounts in Entourage, and
everything in Word/Excel -- will come back ok. Thanks
