If you have Entourage 2004
or Entourage 2008, you can continue to use it along with Office for Mac 2011. This scenario might be useful if you purchase a version of Office for Mac 2011
that does not include Outlook. Outlook
is the e-mail application that replaced Entourage
in Office for Mac 2011.
When you install Office for Mac 2011, applications from earlier versions of Office
are not deleted. However, you can manually delete applications and corresponding Dock icons that you no longer need, such as earlier versions of Word, PowerPoint, and Excel.
 | Limitations of using Entourage with Office for Mac 2011 |
Office 2011
is optimized to work with Outlook for Mac 2011. Therefore, there are limitations when you use Entourage
with Office 2011. These limitations include:
-
Information pasted to the Scrapbook is not shared between Entourage
and Office 2011
applications.
-
The Entourage
Address Book cannot be accessed through Office 2011
applications. Similarly, Word 2011
applications can store contacts, but those contacts are not available to Entourage.
-
Office 2011
does not include Project Center. You can continue to use Project Center in Entourage, but it is incompatible with applications in Office 2011.
-
Entourage
and Office 2011
display reminders in separate versions of the Office Reminders
application.
| Delete Office applications that you no longer need |
After you install Office for Mac 2011, you might want to delete applications that you no longer need, such as earlier versions of Word, PowerPoint, and Excel.
-
In the
/Applications/
folder, open the folder that contains the earlier version of Office. For Office 2004, the folder is
/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/. For Office 2008, the folder is
/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/.
-
Select the applications that you want to delete, and then drag them to the Trash.
Caution
Do not delete any folders, such as the
/Office/
folder. Deleting any of these folders could cause problems with Entourage.
| Delete unnecessary icons from the Dock |
If your Dock contains icons for applications that you no longer use (or have deleted), you can delete the icons from the Dock. To make sure that you delete the correct icons, use the following table, which displays the primary application icons for Office 2004, Office 2008, and Office 2011.
Application | Office 2004 | Office 2008
