Mac OSX (El Capitan)/Office (for Mac) + Parallels 11 for Mac /Windows 7

Hello all,

My question is as follows:
I have a Macbook Pro running El Capitan and have Microsoft Office (for Mac) installed. I recently installed Parallels 11 for Mac and have Windows 7 running as a Virtual Machine. My question is this -when I log into Windows 7, I want an .xlxs that I may have on my Windows desktop to open in Office, but WITHIN Windows 7. My problem is, everything works except it opens the file on my Mac; how do I get it to open in Windows 7?

Please help!

 

Hello Kunal,
Please refer to this article to find the solution.

 

Sylvester,
I saw that, except if I'm opening the file on my Mac, I want to open the associated file on my Mac. If I'm opening the same file on my Windows 7 side, I want it opened in Windows; I don't want all or nothing option.

 

Hi Kunal, Please check if Microsoft Office (for Windows ) is installed properly. If yes, select an .xlxs file > right click > properties > open General tab > select open with > click Change and manually assign Excel (for Windows).
