    Hey there,

    I'm running Vista Ultimate and Office 2007 Enterprise thru Parallels. I have local sharing enabled and am able to drag .txt files from my Mac HD to notepad.exe in Vista and open them just fine. However, whenever I drag a .doc/.docx to Word 2007 in Vista from my Mac HD, I get the following message (screenshot attached):

    My only option therefore is to share the folder directly and then map it as a drive in Vista to access the files thru Explorer to Word 2007 directly.

    Any ideas folks? Thanks!

    You can use parallals shared folders rather than sharing your drive and mapping it etc.

    Have you tried to drag it onto the windows desktop or another folder and then open as it may be an issue with Office 2007?
