i bought my wife the student and teacher edition and have only installed it
on one of her imacs.  now we have bought a laptop with windows xp how do i
install the second copy on this computer?

Ref: Office 2004 w/ update 11.2.3
I find that changing user information in Entourage automatically

need a different user information for MS Word (for example) and another

    I am experiencing several problems since I upgraded to a new Intel
iMac. I
transferred all my files and apps by Firewire from my old G4. Now....
Prob. 1: I get an error message when attempting to open any Office

Finally it possible to synchronize Entourage with Apple Address Book and
iCal.
Address Book works, but the data from iCal do not appear in Entourage.
Is someone else sucessful in this?

Just some interesting reading and hypothesizing here, I am not saying I
agree with this idea.
Don't kill the messenger.  ;-)

I've searched the board and don't see anyone talking about this, so I
hope it's a new question...in my office we want to use the scrapbook to
help with our 50+ common text clips that we use when corresponding with
