latest and greatest of parallels and mac OS- installed parallels 6 and put outlook in Windows to get exchange email . But can't get Mac Word and Excel available in Windows to open Outlook attachments. Have tried everything I've read on boards - macfuze, un/reinstall tools, etc. I presume they have to be in the Shared app folder, but can't get them there. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Do you have "Share Mac applications with Windows" enabled in Virtual Machine -> Configure -> Options -> Applications? Maybe try deselecting it, then reselecting it again. Try reinstalling Parallels Tools. Do you have Mac Word and Excel in your Mac's /Applications/Microsoft Office folder? When "Share Mac applications with Windows" is enabled, Parallels Desktop and/or Parallels Tools creates an .exe (in \Application Data\Parallels\Shared Applications) of each .app on your Mac. I do not know how Parallels chooses which apps to put in the Shared Applications folder. Apparently, they don't need to be on the Mac OS X partition. Maybe you just need to run the Mac app so that the Mac knows about it and Parallels will know about it too.
