Can I deleted events?

[Steve B.]

I'm attempting to move from Now Up-to-Date & Contact to Entourage X. I
imported my Up-to-Date file into Entourage but all the repetitions of what
were repeating events in the Up-to-Date file are now separate events in
Entourage (even though Entourage supports repeating events). I need these to
be repeating events so that, if I alter one, the change applies to all.
There aren't that many and I don't mind re-creating them in Entourage, but I
need to delete the many, many individual events which Entourage created when
it imported these repeating events from from Up-to-Date. Some of them had
repetitions many years into the future, so please tell me there's a way to
delete them other than: select an event; press 'Delete", OK the "Are you
sure..." dialogue; select an event; press 'Delete", OK the "Are you sure..."
dialogue; press 'Delete", OK the "Are you sure..." dialogue.

Thanks in advance,

Do a 'find' for calendar events and you will be presented with a list -
select the top one, shift select lower in the list to select a block then
delete them all in one go.

Thanks Barry. I assume there's no way to get Entourage to import repeating
events _as_ repeating events??

I don't have Now Up To Date installed, so I can't check this, but I suspect
it is due to a limitation in the format of the NutD items. I am sure that if
it was possible & reliable that MacBU would have implemented this.
