Before responding to your questions--what is the problem you are trying
to solve? Remove and Reinstall is not usually the answer to
problems--there are many things to try before that and a good diagnostic
trick is to see if the problem exists in a different user account. If
you state the problem, someone may know a different answer.
1) The key folder is the Main Identity folder--*not* just the database
within it, the whole folder (I'm pretty sure, anyhow). The Remove Office
tool should not touch anything in MUD, but it's a good idea to save a
copy to external media anyhow, or even rename a copy and hide it
elsewhere on the harddrive. After the reinstall, be sure to update, as
Entourage 11.0 will not recognize an identity created by Entourage 11.3.
Once updated, however, your MUD folder should still be there and it
should all just work smoothly. But if you use other Office programs, you
may have created other customizations that Remove Office will wipe. See
here before doing anything--http://entourage.mvps.org/install/remove_office.htmlhttp://entourage.mvps.org/path/index.html
2) You can re-use the original product key--three license numbers allow
simultaneous use on three networked computers, but re-installing on the
same computer or a replacement computer is unlimited.

1) I am running Office 2004 on a 500Mhz G4 PB with 10.4.10. I want to
un-install Office and then re-install it to see if it resolves a
problem. I use Entourage calendar and want to be sure I retain that
and other data in the database file "Office 2004 Identities/Main
Identity/Database" in the MUD folder. That data was retained when I
upgraded from the previous office version, but uninstalling and re-
installing is a bit different.
2) When I re-install, can I re-use the original product key or must I
use one of the other two?
Thanks
The problem I was referring to is that Word 2004 on my machine takes
50% CPU even when no file is open. The computer heats up which causes
the fan to come on. The problem occurred after updating to 10.4.10 and
Office update 11.3.6. This is the only app with this problem. See the
following thread for details:
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office.word/browse_thread/thread/ea26d2fd0314d124#
.. I thought that maybe there is a chance that re-installing Word
might fix the problem although someone with the same problem tried re-
installing but it didn't fix the problem. Thanks for your answers to
my questions.
