Not true. If you go to each of the Preferences, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint you can set them up so that they save in the older version. However with Mail, Entourage, it copy's the Microsoft user Database file into a new Database folder. Even though you are now running Entourage 08, the 04 Database file remains intact. so that if you decide to go back to Office 04 just make sure you don't delete the 04 Microsoft Database folder.
