Re: Huge Office X Database, Small Office 2004 Database

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Haven't a clue, but I think you'd be better off asking in the Entourage
group.
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office.entourage

I can tell you that all of your Entourage data is kept in home/documents/ms
user data/office [#] identities/main identity, and you should back up that
entire identity folder, not just the database. However, the Remove Office
tool should not touch it anyhow.

But I would advise you not to uninstall anything until you've sorted out
what is going on. It kinda sounds like you've been using Office X all along
and you just thought you had switched over. Apple's Dock and Recent Items
don't make it easy to tell which version you are launching.
