Hi,

every now and then certain Office documents such as word automatically try to open on XP through Parallels. I didn't ask for it, I use NeoOffice for these files, but for some reason it insists to open on XP. I would love to get a tip on disabling that option.

thanks,

Mushon
 
Hi,

To fix the problem please do the following:

1. Point your Office document, select it in Finder and press Command+I (Get Info)
2. In the Get Info dialog in the Open With menu select your NeoOffice application.
3. Click Change All... button.

Is there a way for me to disable the automatic opening in Parallels? it's just very annoying that I have to specifically tell every .doc file in my computer to not use this default.
 
I did.
The thing is, even if I say 'always open with' it still treats every .doc file as a special case. Can't I just overrid this option all together?
