Since installing Parallels 3.0 all Entourage attachments open in the Windows
Virtual Machine instead of using Microsoft Word for Mac. How do I set the
Mac version of Word as the default to open these and other attachments. I
using Microsoft Entourage 2004.
Can anyone help?

Does it only happen with certain attachments (such as Microsoft Office
files)? Drag one of these attachments to the Desktop, select it and
ctrl-/right-click it. Click on "Get Info" from the contextual menu, and make
sure the "Open With" section is expanded. Select the Macintosh program you
would like to open these files with, then hit "Change all". From now on,
documents in that file format will be opened with the application you've
just specified. Note that you will repeat this procedure for every kind of
file that opens in the virtual machine instead of Mac OS X. In other words,
if you've just told Mac OS X to open Word files with Mac Word, you will need
to repeat the same procedure with other files, such as Excel, PowerPoint and
so on.
