I am using Entourage in Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac. I want to
correct an error in the standard email layout. The very first line of
each email has a heading "Subject:...". Ironically, however, whatever
words I insert after the "Subject:" also get repeated on each email
uncer another heading appearing as "Conversation:".

Thus, from top of page to the bottom, the default headings read:
Subject:, Date:, To:, CC:, then this odd "Conversation:". How do I go
in and eliminate the redundant heading and text automatically
appearing as "Conversation:..."?

Hi,

unfortunately, this can't be done. This "Conversation" header was introduced
with the 11.2 update, if I remember correctly, and is part of Entourage's
Exchange functionality. It can't be deactivated and is displayed even in
messages in non-Exchange accounts. It comes up very frequently on this
newsgroup, so you might want to let Microsoft know that this header annoys
you by clicking on "Send feedback on Entourage" in Entourage's Help menu.

Sorry, it can't be done. The conversation header was added at the last
minute before one of the updates was released, for compatibility with some
exchange features. The fact it gets printed out in emails is annoying.

You can send feedback to the developers on this issue. Use the last menu
item under the 'Help' menu - "Send Feedback on Entourage". This message will
go directly to the developers. The more people that request this feature the
more likely it is to be implemented.
