Calendar, contacts, and mail are syncing with my exchange server, but tasks are not displaying in Outlook 2011 on my mac. If I add a new task to outlook on my mac, it displays on my iPhone and Windows machine, but not in Outlook on my mac.  Ideas?
I have been running Entourage 10.0.0 (which I think dates from 2001) on a Mac Powerbook G4 with Motorola PC processor running OS 10.5.8.
I am about to buy a new Mac Book Pro with Intel processor.
I understand Entourage will not run on the new Mac beacuse of different processor architecture and I will have to buy the latest (2011?) Microsoft Office for Mac - with Outlook for Mac as its e-mail programme instead of Entourage.  All online info I have found on transferring e-mails and contacts from Entourage to Outlook for Mac deals with later versions of Entourage (2004 and 2008). 
Can I transfer from my older Entourage 10.0.0 to 2011 Outlook for Mac?  If so, how?
Grateful for advice!
Incidentally, I have been told that documents created in my old Word programme (2001 version) can be opened and changed by the 2011 Word for Mac programme (in spite of the processor change from motorola to intel). Is this correct?
Ok, so, I'm loving my new mac, but am frustrated with the limited capabilities of Microsoft Office. 

I need the ability to edit multiple contacts in outlook. Since I can't export just a group of contacts (not smart, if you ask me!), I need to be able to add a defining column to the contacts so that when I export my contacts to use, I can grab just the two groups that I need. I have catagorized all the contacts, but in the export process, the category isn't included. How can I edit multiple contacts? 

For Example: 

I have 672 contacts in a group that we'll call "Clients". I have 6 other email groups in outlook. I have catagorized all of the "Clients" emails to be the color orange. I now need to add a column, say "Nickname" and have all 672 contacts updated with a "Nickname" of clients so that when I export to an excel file, I can sort by "Nickname" and grab just my "Client" emails to use in an email campaign through vertical response. 

I know this was possible with the windows version, because I did it. Also, the windows version allows for exporting of just certain folders within the contacts. 

Microsoft, PLEASE add this feature into outlook! We have got to be able to manage our contacts better!

Frustrated, 

Lisa
Can I remove the Outlook application on my Office for Mac Home and Student edition without affecting Word, Excel, and PowerPoint?
Using MS Office for Mac 2011 via a volume license purchased by my employer.  Recently retired and no longer on the employer's Exchange server now.  After a hard drive crash, I replaced my traditional HD with a solid state drive and reloaded MS Office for Mac 2011 from the original install CD.  Everything works well except for Outlook; the initial navigation pane will notl open whenI start up Outlook, no matter what I do. The toolbar prompt for a new main viewing window doesn't produce anything either--no response from my machine.  Have downloaded and installed version MS Office 2011 Mac 14.2.4 and am using Mac OS X 10.6.8 on a 2007 iMac with 1gb memory total and a 200mhz Intel CPU.  Fortunately, I had saved all of my Outlook data when I suspected the original hard drive problem.  Used the export function and saved the data from the original hard drive to a flash drive.  Have imported them to the new SS drive, but no response from the my computer to view my calendar and contacts data.  Calendar reminders still work and pop up correctly on my screen.  I can enter a new appointment on a separate screen, but I'd like to be able to see my monthly calendar all on one screen.  What am I missing?  Help please.

iam using office mac 2011.When i try to share a calendar permissions is greyed out what is the problem. Using Macbook with os 10.6.8 and connecting to exchange server.
Hello there,
I had to replace the HDD of my Mac and unfortunately I could not use the Migration Assistant to restore all the files/applications.
So now I am in the condition of having to do a manual restore from the Time Machine backup of the emails that were moved from the Inbox to the Mac.
The question is: where Outlook 2011 stores those files on the Mac?
Thanks in advance.

OS is 10.7.5 with all updates. Office 2011 with all updates up to 14.2.4

My work email is configured on Windows Outlook using cached Exchange mode (which I gather is the default for Mac Outlook, and cannot be disabled) I also have to set, under the "Connection" tab, "Connect to Microsoft Exchange uisng HTTP" and "Use this URL to connect to my proxy server for Exchange". I cannot find the equivalent of that in Mac Outlook. Further, I get zero feedback from Mac Outlook... no errors, no indication that it's even trying to do anything. I got the Progress and Errors windows open, and no matter how I try to configure my account, I don't get any information at all.

What do I need to do to get some kind of response from Outlook to start to figure out how to get my mail working?   
I recently bough Office 11 for Mac.  It has the option to use Outlook and when I click on the icon it goes to the MS site to upgrade. However it asks me to repurchase the entire suite again in order to have the Outlook component. I am angry that I wasted my money and effectively need to pay full price twice for the privilege to use OutLook. Since I have a purchased, licensed, legitimate copy of Office already, why can I not purchase the upgrade to include just OutLook?
