What happened to Help/"Send Feedback on  Entourage (Word, Excel.)?

One of the lovely features of Office 2004 used to be (past tense) being able
to go under the Help pulldown menu on any sub-program (Entourage, Word,
Excel) and click on "Send Feedback on__________ (name of Office 2004
sub-program on which you wish to submit feedback)."

The website page that now comes up makes it more cumbersome to send a Mac
product suggestion to Microsoft via the Help/Send Feedback route.  Clicking
on that pulldown menu item takes you to:
<http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/>

I made the mistake of clicking on "Select a Product" at the top of that
webpage and finding myself in a maze of Windows products without Office 2004
for Macintosh anywhere in sight.

I returned to the "contactus" home page.  This time, I scrolled down to the
subheading on "Product Help and Support"

I opted for the "Report Bugs" link, which only brought up  the phone number
(800) MICROSOFT (642-7676) .

The closest  option to sending written product suggestions that I could find
was the link to  "Send questions about your Microsoft product to a customer
service representative"  This brought up a "form for general questions about
Microsoft products or services" in which you could report a problem.

Is that the only or best route for sending suggestions to the Mac Business
Unit on a specific component of Office?

Yeah, several of us have complained loudly about this development. It
apparently is a result of a MS site-wide change. The Send questions...
link is the most appropriate of the choices.

However, MacBU has said that they are monitoring these newsgroups, so
the best way to make a suggestion is probably to post in the application
specific groups, perhaps using a subject line like
