Can I shrink the nav buttons in Microsoft Entourage?

I've been using Microsoft's Entourage program for a while and like it, but just noticed recently that my friend's Entourage looks totally different: instead of having these six huge buttons on the top left of my main view window. How the heck did they do that?

Dave's Answer:

I know what you're talking about. In Microsoft Entourage on your Mac, you're seeing something like this:

and your friend sees something more like this:

The solution is simple, albeit a bit puzzling since it's buried in one of the general settings windows. Go to Entourage --> Preferences... and click on General. You'll see this:

Notice where the cursor is located as that's the key option to select: "Display small navigation buttons (mazimize Folders and Views lists)". Check that box, click "OK", and you should be a happy Entourage user forevermore!

Ok, this is driving me crazy... I've had my mac for over 6months so far but am just now getting to fully use it to it's capacity and I find myself getting lost with almost everything. I am trying to set up and use my Microsoft Entourage, but I don't even know where to start... When I tried just following the system, I get stuck on adding my email address. Now I was able to add my hotmail address, but I have no idea how to manage it...
Please help I need to either figure out how to use it , or how to turn it off if I can't use it...
Thanks you so much for your time!!!

I have a lot to say, but ...

I have a lot to say, and questions of my own for that matter, but most of all I'd like to say thank you for all your efforts on this Web site by buying you a chai!

I do have a comment, now that you mention it!
