    I have a client that uses Outlook 2007 in Windows XP with Parallels Desktop 4.0. The shared applications are set up so that if he opens a Word document in Windows, it will open in Word on the Mac side. However, if he gets an attachment to an email that is in ".doc" format, Outlook tries to use Notepad in Windows to open it. How can I remap Outlook's helper applications to use the Mac version of Word for attachments?

    If he saves the attachment to a folder in Windows Explorer and then opens it, it will work correctly. But, I'd like to save him a few steps by just launching the document from Outlook, if possible.

    Thanks in advance for any ideas.
