Run Office98 to fool Entourage X

I use Entourage X for managing more than a dozen email accounts. I always have found the "feature" in Office that prohibits switching between Entourage email accounts if Word, Excel or PowerPoint were launched very frustrating and annoying.

However, thanks to the Classic Environment, I can have Entourage X open, and with Word, Excel and/or PowerPoint in Office 98 launched, I can switch between email accounts easily. Hence, I can copy/paste/embed data from open Office documents into email from multiple accounts without having to quit an app such as Word in order to make a switch in Entourage, only then to have to re-launch.

The other benefit here is that I find Office 98 in Classic to be all around faster; easier to scroll through large documents, quicker to print, and vastly quicker to launch large files than Office X in 10.1.4 or 10.15.
