AFAIK, no such specialty script exists, but it should be fairly easy to
write one. Presumably it's "custom field one" that has been taken over. You
could easily copy the information in that field to the "spouse" field.
Something like...
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set contactList to every contact
repeat with thecontact in contactList
set theText to custom field one of thecontact
if theText is not "" then
set spouse of thecontact to theText
set custom field one to ""
end if
end repeat
end tell
...would probably do it. This is a blanket approach, and assumes that every
contact with something in that field is supposed to be a spouse's name.
