Office for Mac

[katy_jp]

Version: 2004
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: intel

I'm trying the Office Test drive - if I then decide to buy, will all my data stay put (e.g. Entourage e-mails etc.)? I'm importing them from my old PC and don't want to do it twice!

Your Entourage data is stored in the Microsoft User Data folder, which you
can find in ~/Documents. That folder is left untouched if you decide to
remove Office; remember, you will need to remove the Test Drive prior to
installing the full version of Office 2004. If you decide to buy Office
2008, the installer will do that for you.

In about 1% of installs, disaster happens and the Microsoft User Data folder
goes missing. I advise duplicating and archiving (zip) the folder for safe
keeping. I don't like hearing about OMG installs.
