Entourage 2008 will not, in its current version (12.1.4) allow double-clicking of an event in any calendar window. Instead, double clicking will only allow the editing of the name of the event in the same calendar window. One must actually click once on the event and then go to File-Open Event, or double click to the left of the event (but within the same date box) to open it for editing. And in either case, Entourage will not allow click and drag, as stated in your manual, of an event to another date.

This frustrating badly implemented "feature" was a constant source of aggravation, until I got online help:

This is a feature but can be annoying. Double-click to the far left of
the event before the text begins or simply click the event and select
File --> Open. It should open for you then.

You can also click in that far left area to drag.

Hope this helps!
