I requested help with respect to a problem passing a pdf file created in WordPerfect over to the Mac side on Dec 31. I had two problems in that post, but I solved the mouse issue. The other has NEVER been fixed, despite sending a problem report to Parallels. I have not been able to properly copy a critical pdf file created in black and red font from my Windows guest onto the Mac since November 19! Prior to that I had no problem doing so several times a week. From that date onward, the report opens on the Mac with only black type every time. If the report doesn't have both colors of type (to differentiate key items), it's useless to me. The report contains both colors when opened on the Windows XP guest, but is unusable on the Mac side when it opens in only black type. I'm running 10.6.8 . . . . we've already covered that it's not up-to-date, but until Parallels provides a better explanation of EXACTLY what is contained in a so-called update, I am not willing to install it. I have no intention of upgrading from XP Pro. Not now; not ever. It seems as if all the upgrades since 10.6.8 address issues with Vista, Windows 7 or 8 none of which I will ever use. I've learned the hard way not to update something unless I know exactly what it's going to do . . I've broken too many programs applying Windows so-called security updates to not have learned this hard lesson. But . . here I am unable to do something as simple as copy a file from Windows to the Mac and have it display or print properly. I need to be able to send it as an email attachment, but it's useless without the red/black type. I can create pdf files which contain colored jpeg files and copy them onto the Mac with no problem. They display perfectly. If that works, why can't I copy a simple pdf text file with has black and red type? TobyT
