    When in WindowsXP within my VM, I don't seem to be able to use the traditional word-processing keyboard shortcuts, such as alt arrow to jump from one word to the next, shift to highlight..etc. Can this be done?

    from Parallels Desktop for Mac user guide from http://www.parallels.com/en/download/file/doc/Parallels_Desktop_for_Mac_User_Guide.pdf

    Remapping Keys
    On the Remapping Keys tab, you can choose between the following options:
    Do not remap. This option leaves traditional for Mac OS X hot keys combinations for Mac
    OS X only. In the guest OS, use hot key combinations that are standard for this operating
    system. For example, use Control+C in Windows guest OS to copy to clipboard and
    Command+V to paste it in Mac OS X or Command+C in Mac OS X to copy and
    Control+V in Windows to paste it.
    Remap Cmd+ZXCVAF. Turn this option on to use the Mac OS X hot key combinations in the
    guest operating system.
    Swap Cmd/Ctrl. Use the Apple keyboard Command key as Control key in Windows
    guest OS..
