When Im trying to open.xls or.xlsx file from Mac OS with Open with option there is no Excel (Parallels) app in the list.I can see Word (Parallels) app when trying to open.doc file without any issue.I tried making a clean install of Windows XP, tried installing MS Office 2003, 2007 and 2010 with no success.I also tried to install Windows 7MS Office and I can see Microsoft Excel (Parallels) app in Open With list.
But I need it to work with Windows XP because XP takes much less disk space and system resources than Windows 7. I even tried to move WindowsXP virtual machine to my old notebook with MavericksParallels 9. I can also see the Windows Excel App in Open with list, but right after I change the file association back to native mac app the Windows Excel disappears from the Open with list. If I change the default application for certain filetypes (.xls or.xlsx ) to Microsoft Excel (Parallels) app it works. I can also see the Microsoft Excel (Parallels) in Open With list. Set Default Application For Excel Files Mac OS X App LikeIf I change the default app to native Mac OS X app like Numbers the Microsoft Excel (Parallels) app disappear from the list again. Other apps are fine such as Word 2106, so it would appear to be something related to just Excel. It is something wrong with just the link to the Windows Excel program. I DO NOT want to set the default program for.xls files to Windows, but would rather need to use the open with option in Mac. I can tell my Mac to always open excel files in windows, and it does. In windows I can use the File and open (when in excel) and that will bring up excel on my windows. But I cant find the excel icon to tell my windows to open up excel in windows as a default.silly. Then I believe I got a question reg how to open files (and share files), when I tried to open an excel doc in windows.
