We just purchased a new iMac running Snow Leopard. We did the magie Mac to Mac
import update of info from our old iMac. Everything looked great. However, the
address book did not bring over the categories for each contact. In fact, a
few contacts have disappeared. I restored the Microsoft Data Folder from our
Time capsule from a week ago, and it still does not show the categories. Is
there a problem with Office 2008 and Snow Leopard???

No, there is no problem with Office 2008 and Snow Leopard.

Can you boot into the old iMac and see if the categories are still there? If
yes, then bring over that Identity.

Using Time Machine to backup Entourage basics:

It's advised by the developers not to let Time Machine backup your Entourage
database. If the database is copied while being used, the backup could be
corrupt. You can set the Time Machine to exclude the Microsoft User Data
folder and create an iCal event to copy it over at night while not in use so
you get one backup daily in Time Machine.
