    The Office 2004 for Mac suite is too slow for me under Rosetta. I have saved the Windows Office apps on my doc (ie., PowerPoint) and they appear correctly as Parallels apps. When I launch them, they correctly launch Parallels (if it is not running) and then themselves - a GREAT Feature !!

    However, I would like to be able to drag a file from Finder and drop it on the doc icon for (Parallels) PowerPoint in order to launch the Windows Office PowerPoint app. Better yet, I would like to be able to 'associate' these programs on the Mac to the Parallels apps, and not the Office 2004 version for Mac (their default). That way I can launch directly from Finder and it will do the right thing (for me).

    The doc icons are not active however and do not allow this behavior. Is this a feature request? Anyone else have a similar request or workaround or am I missing something?

    Thanks,
