Entourage 2008 spellchecker

Hi:
During the write of the email body, sometimes I need to reply in two languages: spanish and english.
I come from Outlook 2007. In this app the spellchecker can identify the language and switches automatically from/to english or spanish depending on the language I´m writing.
How can I do(configure) the same in Entourage 2008?
Thanks in advance.

Since Entourage is not an Apple product, and ultimately not Apple related, you should post your question on Microsoft's own forums for Entourage as they would be geared more toward your issue than an Apple forum:

  • Migrating to new macbook air with Lion, entourage 2008 doesn't work

    I  bought a new macbook air with lion installed. trying to migrate data from my old macbook with snow leopard. Got most data across, and installed my most frequently used applications:
    - office 2008: most office apps 2008 work, if buggily. entourage not, see below.
    - firefox (hangs up when downloading updates)
    - dropbox (ditto)
    <these two problems may have something to do with internet proxy settings, will try to sort that out later>
    MAIN ISSUE:
    entourage wont open at all.  so for now i'm using my old comp for e-mail and the new for the rest.
    MY OPTIONS:
    please advise (1) what you think is the most time & nerve-saving option (2) how to do it smoothly:
    A) try to get office 2008 to work.
    when trying to open entourage, it tells me this version (office 2008 12.0) cannot open this entourage database (12.3)
    error for other apps says there is a problem with database, and rebuilding several times did not fix it.
    would have to start with updating to the version i used last (office 2008 12.3). Problem is the ms office updater does not seem to work on lion. the first update does not open, says it does not support powermac.
    B) buying office 2011, and migrating entourage 2008 to outlook.
    I suppose the best way to do this is to install office 2011 on the old mac first, then on the new one, then move database, right?
    C) migrating from entourage 2008 to lion mail.
    best way to do this would be to import entourage email to leopard mail, then move those files to the new mac?  and move entourage addresses into the mac addressbook. my major concern is that i have a lot of mailing rules, and a fair bunch of notes. a lot. i;d rather not have to recreate those by hand. Is there a way to import rules from entourage to mail?
    i also habe a huge backstock of mail, over 10,000, and a correspondigly huge addressbook (within entourage). i'm ready to abandon entourage at last (though i used it for a decade), but i want to have my addresses, my rules, and at least the last 3 yrs of emails. i get about 130 mails a day so i need plenty of automatic organizing capability.
    i never had issues  my old mac/snow leopard, i just ran out of ram and the one usb broke, so i figured it's time. kinda sorry i did not just get the usb repaired and extra ram. what a hassle these migrations always are.
    cheers!

    Yes, repairing first is a sound idea. In my experience I've only moved from Entourage to the OS X applications or from one version of Entourage to another. In the latter I've been able to just copy over the Microsoft User Data folder. But I have not used Entourage for quite some time.
    Microsoft don't make it quite that easy to migrate to their own applications, but the import from a 'tidy' .rge file works well, I had a lot of issues with the first few I migrated but after performing a database repair prior to import all proceeded smoothly.

  • How can I share a project specific calendar I created on Entourage 2008 ?

    How can I share a project specific calendar I created on Entourage 2008 without showing my personal calendar? I created a project specific calendar using Entourage 2008 for Mac. I want to add someone that uses Outlook from a PC. We are in the same exchange network.  I have added this person in under the sharing tab, but don't see a way to invite her to view it, and it does not appear on her Outlook list of shared calendars. I was able to invite her to view my main calendar, but not the project specific one. Any suggestions?

  • How to restore calendar items from Entourage 2008 after upgrade to Lion (10.7.5)?

    I held off upgrading to Lion because I had a bunch of old email I wanted to convert first. But now that Apple is no longer offering security updates for Snow Leopard, I decided to take the plunge. Unfortunately, after the Lion upgrade most of my calendar items in Entourage 2008 disappeared (and those that remained appeared in duplicate).
    I think I should be able to access an uncorrupted version of my Main Identity folder for Office 2008 … because I have an Automator workflow that creates a daily backup, and that backup should be available through Time Machine. I turned off Time Machine after this calamity so that I wouldn't overwrite my Entourage Backup folder.
    I need the July 8 or 9 version of:  ~ / Documents / Entourage Backup / Main Identity.
    But when I select the Entourage Backup folder and open Time Machine, all the Finder windows behind the current one go dark and I can't move backward toward an earlier date (I've done this with Time Machine turned off and on). This makes me think the Entourage Backup folder has not been getting backed up recently, or perhaps ever. Ugh.
    When I check my Time Machine preferences, only the following items are shown as excluded from backups:
    So it seems I should be in the clear and able to access Entourage Backup.
    Any idea what I'm doing wrong in trying to restore from Time Machine? Or anything else I might be doing wrong?
    Many thanks.

    When I check my Time Machine preferences, only the following items are shown as excluded from backups:
    Not sure how any of this relates to a Time Capsule....one of the hardware products that we support in this forum.....but we will try to help.
    Main Identity is located as follows on your Mac:
    Macintosh HD > Documents > Microsoft User Data > Office 2008 Identities > Main Indentity
    Unfortunately, you have been excluding Microsoft User Data from your backups, so there is nothing to recover or restore.

  • Does Microsoft Entourage 2008 for mac work with the new Mac OS X v 10.7 Lion

    Does Microsoft Entourage 2008 for mac work with the new Mac OS X v 10.7 Lion?
    I am just about to install Lion just need to check to see if if my work e-mail will work

    Sarah,
    Check this link:
    http://roaringapps.com/app:2533
    It contains some issues that people have encountered with Lion and Office 2008. It appears it can work, but you may have to go through some of the steps a few of the posters there have listed.
    That website also contains a pretty large list of applications and if they will work with Lion.
    Hope this helps! (I am not affiliated in any way with the site linked).

  • Leopard sleep problem which seems related to Entourage 2008...

    Hi all,
    I have a MBP (3,1) running 10.5.2 and I noticed about 3 months ago that if I left the lid open the energy saver triggered sleep wouldn't kick in (very hot laptop next morning syndrome).
    I've read a number of other threads on Leopard auto-sleep problems (which pointed to the HP AIO frameworks) but this doesn't appear to be the same issue I have...
    If I quit Entourage 2008 then the computer will sleep after the correct period of time - and that's with no other changes to my normal use. Of course I'd like to not have to worry about quitting Entourage each time I might, maybe, just possibly not be back at the computer for a while.
    Now in the system log I do keep getting the following strange entries:
    /Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Entourage.app/Contents/MacOS/Microsoft Entourage[914]: Warning: accessing obsolete X509Anchors.
    I have no idea what this really does and I do appear to have such a file in the system called X509Anchors...
    If I switch Entourage to Offline mode then the entries don't appear in the system log anymore but... the unit still won't sleep. It requires Entourage not to be running it seems.
    Having not seen anything else on the discussions forum relating to Entourage 2008 preventing auto-sleep I'm beginning to wonder whether it's just me?!?
    Anyone else seeing this effect? And most importantly, does anyone know of a fix?
    I have tried the NMS sleep utility stuff and although it worked perfectly whilst I was testing it using Energy saver timings of 1 minute... as soon as I upped the time back to my usual 30 minutes for CPU sleep it failed to work again.
    Any help much appreciated.

    Ok two things based on the crash report and the steps you took right before the crash:
    # Try to disable scrolling acceleration and restart Firefox. Does it continue to crash?
    # Try Safe Mode and do the same task as above with email and the pdf [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    # Also pdf.js may be helpful to read pdfs in the meantime. You can change the default reader in the Preferences/Options > Application menu of Firefox.
    # Try to clear out the downloads folder and update flash to version 14 (that should do it)
    IF it crashes again please also provide the new crash signatures and we can take a look :-) Sorry for the crashing :-(

  • Problem with Entourage 2008 for Mac

    I don't know if this is the right forum, if not please direct me to where I should go. I have Entourage 2008 for Mac. I continue to have a problem with the font reverting back to Calibri when I am composing an email. I've set up in Preferences the font I want, but it doesn't seem to work. Anyone have any suggestions? Other than give up entirely on Apple and go back to a PC????? The whole Office 2008 program is horrible and whoever designed it at Apple should be fired.

    I don't know if this is the right forum, if not please direct me to where I should go.

  • Can not sync my Blackberry 8830 with MacBook using Pocket Mac for BlackBerryto Entourage 2008

    I recently purchased a Verizon plan with my new BlackBerry 8830 Curve. I also downloaded pocketmac for blackberry with the Verizon technical support person. He spent almost 2 hours with me yesterday. We still can not sync my Blackberry contacts and calendar events to my mackbook on Entourage 2008.
    This is the message I get:
    [02:20:57.110] Could not lcoate the Microsoft Entourage Office Synchronization Tool.
    [02:21:01.076] Could not lcoate the Microsoft Entourage Office Synchronization Tool. 
    PS, they even typed in locate incorrectly.
    Can some help? I am stressed out that I only have one location where my contacts are located- the BB
    Thanks
    Henry

    Guess what ? Pocketmac for Blackberry just released a new version this afternoon. 4.125.
    I downloaded the new version and it now has a sync for Entourage 2008 and it works BB to Entourage 2008 and Entourage 2008 to BB.
    Thanks to them for finally fixing this major flaw

  • Entourage 2008 - Importing from Outlook 2007 ???

    Hi guys, just got a MacBook Pro this week and I had reserved a copy of Office 2008 which I got today.
    It's great because that's what I was waiting for to put my PC on sale
    BUT i was astonished to see that there's not the option to import pst files in Entourage ??
    I was using Office 2007 for PC therefore Outlook 2007.
    The only way we can export stuff is by creating .PST files, so you can backup all your contacts, your messages with attachements and your calendar (which are my 3 priorities).
    Using the equivalent application from Microsoft but for the Mac, that is : Entourage 2008, there's not the option to import .pst ?? What the heck ??
    So please guys if you know a way to export my stuff (messages, contacts and calendar) from Outlook 2007 PC to Entourage 2008 MAC, please let me know !!!
    THANK YOU !!

    Hey guys,
    I don't want to be repeting by here's the way I worked this out :
    EMAILS
    First I installed Thunderbird on my Win computer.
    Then I imported from outlook. It took a while since my PST was like 3 Gb.
    At first I was crashing it but then I let it work for a try and it imported everything perfectly, but not showing any progress bar during the process.
    Second, I searched Thunderbird help for the way to export in MBOX, and it pointed out that I sould get a plug-in, which I did.
    Third, having installed the plug-in, I had a tool menu for exporting. Only thing I had to do is select each folder one by one and export them using this plug-in, I only had to add .MBOX extention to every file.
    Finally, when you get these files in OS X with entourage, you just drag and drop them in entourage and them import perfectly.
    That did the job for me anyways.
    CONTACTS
    Send yourself emails of contacts !
    I sent myself email (with the WORK OFFLINE option so I wouldn't receive them in outlook) in the contacts from outlook.
    As you can imagine, I totally got rid of Outlook, and of Windows actually, by now but as I remember it when you right click on a contact you have an item that's called something like "send full information of contact through email".
    So to keep my categories I sent one email per categories.
    Back in entourage, I had to save attachements, import them, put them in a category.
    Then next email, etc. and so on.
    CALENDAR
    I haven't found a way to do this but what I did was : In outlook you have a way to display your calendar events by a list, so I just made a couple of print screen of that list and I put the future events that I wanted to keep in Entourage.
    And the conclusion is :
    Well I said byebye to Entourage because I don't need MS Exchange support and I hate Microsoft more and more everyday so I'm using Mail, Address Book and iCal now
    But I could easily import from entourage into all of these.
    The only microsoft apps I still are the must-have : word, excel and powerpoint 2008.

  • Entourage 2008 Exchange to Outlook Web Access

    Okay, bear with me: I'm an end-user and not especially technically inclined.
    That said, for years I've used Entourage 2008 as my email client (on a MacBook Pro, OSX 10.9), and it successfully works with the web-based Outlook account that my ISP provides, through a POP connection.
    Now, I'd like to sync my Entourage calendar with one in Outlook.
    Importing the Entourage calendar into Outlook was easy. But when I build an Exchange account in Entourage, I seem to have fallen on my face.
    It still imports mail, but can't send mail
    It doesn't sync the Outlook calendar (on the web) to Entourage's
    I have upgraded Entourage to the EWS version of 12.3.6.
    After configuring the Web Services Edition (as best I could), I still can't send email — or sync Entourage to the online Outlook calendar.
    Here's the error message: "Unexpected data was encountered" Error: -17997
    I'm using the same settings I see in my Nokia N8 mobile's Exchange mailbox settings (which works perfectly with Outlook including syncing its calendar with OWA's calendar).
    What puzzles me is that an Exchange account on Entourage and my MacBook won't work using the same settings as Exchange ActiveSync on my Nokia N8, which syncs flawlessly with OWA. Any and all suggestions gratefully received.

    An additional point of information.  You've posted to an Exchange 2013 forum.  Is your Exchange organization running Exchange 2013?  If not, the Exchange previous versions forums are here: 
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/exchangeserverlegacy.
    You should share the Exchange version, service pack and update level you're running.
    If you believe that it's an Exchange configuration problem as opposed to Entourage, then the issue would likely be in the configuration of Exchange Web Services, particularly the EWS virtual directory.

  • Entourage 2008 and iSync

    Hey everyone, I was using the new Entourage 2008 and loved it, until I realized it was going to take A LOT of work to get it to sync with my Palm Centro. I ended up switching back to Entourage 2004 which is really starting to tick me off. Here's what I would like to be able to do, and you all may be able to tell me if this is indeed feasible or not.
    1. I would like to be able to sync my Centro (contacts, calendar, to-dos, notes, etc.) with Entourage, consequently I would like to be able to go both ways. So say I create an event in Entourage and then change the time of the event on the Centro, I would like that to be reflected on both the computer and Centro.
    2. I would like to be able to sync my contacts and calendar on MobileMe (I'm not sure how that system works, but for now I would just like to be able to view my calendar online).
    3. Eventually I'd like to sync the whole deal with like Google Calendars and stuff.
    Entourage 2004 was SO easy to sync my Centro. I tried to sync with 2008 and it just made a bunch of duplicates and caused me a headache. After realizing that Microsoft wasn't going to be able to help me, I switched back to 2004. What a bummer, because the new 2008 is AWESOME!
    Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it. I've been looking online and on forums for weeks now and haven't really found a solid answer.

    Wow, really? Why would Apple do that?
    Because iSync's Palm support was severely out of date, didn't work very well, and, I guess it wouldn't be worth Apple's time and money to devote development resources to it further.
    What exactly does the Missing Sync program do for me?
    It'll basically sync everything between your Mac and Palm - contacts, calendars, notes, tasks, memos, install Palm OS applications and conduits, sync music, photos and videos. Far more than iSync ever did.
    Read more here: http://www.markspace.com/products/palm/palm-sync-software.html
    Is there a better PDA to use with Mac OS X then?
    iPhone is the best since Apple makes everything from the phone to the OS. It just works.
    Are any of those going to work better than the Palm OS?
    I don't know whether any of them will work better, but they all need third-party software from MarkSpace to sync with a Mac. None sync out-of-the-box.

  • Entourage 2008 & iCal sync inaccurate free / busy status for events

    On a campus using Exchange 2007, I am using Entourage 2008 and sync to iCal 3.0.2 (Leopard) via Sync Services in Entourage's preferences. Both Exchange 2007 and Entourage 2008 have only been installed in the last two months.
    I have found that events which I mark as "free" in Entourage 2008 are changed to "busy" after a sync with iCal. The free / busy status is correct when the sync with Exchange takes place, but the status is incorrectly changed to busy every time the iCal sync takes place.
    I need to put campus events, co-worker planned absences, and similar things on my calendar, but these items need to remain as "free" so that I can be scheduled during those times. This all worked correctly with Entourage 2004 and the older version of Exchange.
    Does anyone know how to correct this behavior so that the free / busy status is not changed with a sync to iCal?

    Sue,
    Wish I could offer some good advice, but the easy syncing of iCal and Entourage 2008 so far has been impossible if not a nightmare.
    When you go to import in Entourage and iCal is NOT listed as "another application", we are in HUGE trouble.
    A real shame that in today's world of "New Media" and PDA's like iPhones and Blackberry that the two billionaires from Apple and MS did not provide us with easy and simple export/import/sync tools.
    Maybe they should rename Office 2008 to Office 1984

  • Entourage 2008 with IMAP mail account - cannot work offiline

    Hi,
    i've recently configured an IMAP account (not mobile me) in entourage 2008.
    I've configured the accounts to download full bodies from all folders. However if i start entourage offline then i cannot see my IMAP folders and can only access my inbox messages.
    when i'm online, everytime i start entourage all my imap folders are empty and i need to open each folder to get the messages downloaded.
    i've tried to download the emails in side each folder by right-clicking on each-folder and selecting download full email bodies.
    i've tried to create a rule to retrieve emails from the server.
    i've tried to edit the schedule to make sure each folder was selected in the advanced options and selected all messages. Strangely enough that setting (in the folder synchronisation window) disappears every time i restart entourage.
    i've tried setting up a new identity.
    i've tried setting up a new identity on a different imap server.
    i've spent hours on google but haven't found any thing helpful except the things i tried as mentioned above.
    none of this has been working. i believe i'm doing something wrong as other people seem to be able to work offline with entourage but can't find what.
    any help is appreciated.
    thanks,
    Brett
    P.S. I also configured the same IMAP account in Mail.app and all works fine. Entoruage is the my preferred mail client.

  • Saving archived emails for entourage 2008 on 2 different MacBooks

    I use a Entourage 2008 on Macbook Pro at work on an exchange server and archive emails to specific files on my computer section. This allows me to keep the record of the email and keep the mailbox size appropriate for work. At home I have a separate Macpro with Entourage and want to "see" the archived emails.It is difficult to "synch" them if I saved at different locations.
    Previously in outlook, I could do this by saving the PST file on the shared folder and pointing to that file when I opened the outlook at home. The file would be always current. IS there a way to do this in Entourage? Is there a specific way to point to the database, so that either work or home opens to a "shared" drive rather then the local C drive?
