Hello
I'm sorry to ask a probably very elementary question - but I really hope
someone has an answer. I've searched high and low and can't seem to find a
way to open both my calendar and mail windows at the same time - I seem to
have to always click on one or the other. In Outlook on a Windows machine
it is easy to simply right click and instruct Outlook to open the calendar
in a new window. I just can't seem to get Entourage to do the same thing.
Help, please!

Hi Riel!

First, keep in mind that Entourage for Mac is not a port of Outlook for
Windows. They are designed differently and so the features of one won't
always be in the other. For details on why see this blog post:

"Why did Microsoft replace Outlook for Mac with Entourage?"
<http://blog.entourage.mvps.org/2007/05/why_did_microsoft_replace_outl.html>


In Entourage you can select File --> New --> Open New Main Window and
set that window to your calendar. You can open as many Main Windows as
you'd like.

Oh, and two other really silly things - how do I scroll in the monthly
calendar view in Entourage - in Outlook there is a scroll bar down the right
hand side - can't seem to find a way to do this in Entourage. Lastly, how
do I make the all of the contents just in the Entourage calendar bigger, not
all of the windows for all applications just Entourage.

The Entourage calendar does not allow scrolling in Month view. Instead,
you must use the left/right arrows next to the name of the current Month
at the top.

Unfortunately, the calendar view is static. Font sizes can not be
increased or decreased.

Please be sure to let Microsoft know you'd like to see these feature in
future versions by using the Help --> Send Feedback mechanism in any
Office application.
