You only have one copy of office and you can only install it on one machine. Your upgrade license does not allow you to run both v9 & vX. Then you will have to install the new version of Office vX to your applications folder (it's a drag-copy install). Now, put you Office 2001 CD into the CD drive (no need to install anything). Then run any office app and input the software key. If you get asked for the location of Office 2001, just navigate to the CD. > > 2- I would like my email accounts (POP and IMAP) to be synchronized.

Yes, that is the whole point of IMAP. The same mail will be available in all locations. > But how about the POP account? Set the account options on both macs to 'leave a copy of each message on server', and set the 'delete from server after xx days' to some sensible number like 10. Now, as long as you never go more than 10 days before checking at either location, the mail will be collected once on both machines. After 20 days, one of the machines will delete the copy on the server at the next check, leaving the local machine copy intact. > Also, is it > possible with iSync to have my adress books also synchronized and the other > TO DO, calendars etc.. As well? And, is it possible to synchronize the sent > emails (POP) folders as well? No. Isync does not yet work with Entourage. Apple have not released the APIs to the MS development team, and until they do MS MacBU cannot write the code necessary to create an iSync conduit between Entourage & .Mac. -- Barry -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
