A couple days ago I installed a trial version of Parallels on a MacBook Pro that has an up to date operating system, made a Windows 10 Technical Preview virtual machine, and installed Office 2013 in the VM. I was able to set XLS, DOC, and DOCX files in OS X to automatically open by default in Office 2013 Excel and Word. However, I won't be the main user of this laptop. The main user might have trouble doing the things I did to change the default opener. Rather than set the default opener for all Office related files one by one is there a way to set Office as the default program for all Office related files at once?
How to set all files to open by default in Office 2013?
