word attachments only opening in winxp parallel

Inadvertently, I must have changed a setting and now my mac mail word documents are only opening in winxp through parallel. How do I change it so I can open word attachments through my mac word? I don't use parallel winxp on a regular basis.

 

When Virtual Machine is started , go to Applications Menu - Edit - select Microsoft Word Documents and select which file you want to open in which application

 

no edit in application

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, but there's no "edit" under application and no word documents.

 

I mean on Mac OS side
Parallels Desktop - Applications - Edit

I believe I am on Mac OS side. It's on top of my screen, next to the apple.

 

Could you please paste screenshot when you are trying to access Applications menu

 

I apologize but I don't know how to copy and paste a screenshot.

 

Take a look at screenshot

 

Thank you again, but the only words listed under application are favorites (gray), running (gray) and reset window applications (black). How do I get all of the options from your screen shot?

 

Use populate for Windows and Mac OS

 

I have no idea how to populate - can't find the word in the manual.

 

Please see Parallels Desktop for Mac user guide from http://www.parallels.com/en/download/file/doc/Parallels_Desktop_for_Mac_User_Guide.pdf on page 209

 

Thank you for your help, but I still couldn't do anything. So I looked for a back door solution instead. I downloaded a doc to my mac desktop and right clicked to get info. I changed the configuration so that all .doc files will open in my mac word instead of xp word. Problem solved.
