Parallels - how to set preferred program to open documents? now trying ...

now that i've installed parallels (which is cool - helps me use GoToMyPc, which wouldn't work otherwise...but crashes and lags. however, does make me THANK GOD I'm a mac user. windows *****)....
anyway, when i try to open a document, it is set to default wordpad and tries to go through parallels.
how can i set word as the default to handle that type of document?
THANKS!

With Parallels running, but the virtual machine off i.e. Windows not running, under the Edit menu select 'Virtual machine...'
On the left of the window that appears, in the 'Resource' column, there is the 'Shared Applications' selection. Click it and these options will appear on the right of the window.
You can click on the 'Help' button once you've selected the 'Shared Applications' options and it will explain further about the options.

  • How to set default program to open file types

    What I am wanting to do is be able to open music saved in Apple Lossless format in other than iTunes, say in maybe Quicktime. I have most of my music in this format and want to keep them that way so when I want to add an album to iTunes it's already in lossless format. But as it is now with iTunes as the default, anytime I even play one song it is imported into iTunes and I have to go back and delete it.
    I am sure there is a way to make the default program for .m4a files not iTunes?

    If you are just previewing music files you can also click on the song and hit your SpaceBar on the keyboard to listen to the song.

    An example: when I click on a .doc it opens in TextEdit, but I want it to open with NeoOffice (to make that happen now requires right-click>open with>NeoOffice)

    Microsoft Office is not a free program, you have to purchase it.
    Some new PCs may have Office as a free trial, but when the trial is over, you will need to purchase it.

    See the following simple prog to schedule in background.
    You cannot schedule the subroutine i.e perform to run in background job. Instead write the subroutine in another program.
    to pass any value to that program, declare selection screen parameter and pass the value from the first one using submit.

  • How to set which page to open on

    Hi,
    Can someone tell me how to set the property (which one?) so the pdf document will open on a certain page?
    I just cannot figure out how to use the reference. There is a GoTo, which maybe is the one i'm looking for(?), but how do i call/set it?
    (no, it is not pageNum in the doc object)
    Thanks!

    Each document contains all pages. So essentially, there are a lot of copies of the same file and has the same content (yes, it is stupid).
    Anyway, i have found a way to do this. I open each document (which i thought would already be open so i could use "this"), set the property, save and lastly close it. It works, but it aint fast. So if someone ever finds a way to do this faster, that would be really nice.  :-)
    Here is the code:
    /* Set Initial Page View */
    function trimNumber(s) {   while (s.substr(0,1) == '0' && s.length>1) { s = s.substr(1,9999); }   return s; }
    var re = /.*\/|\.pdf$/ig;
    var filename = this.path.replace(re,"");
    console.println(filename);
    var mypage = filename.substring(15-3);
    var mDoc = app.openDoc(this.path);
    var goToPageScript = "this.pageNum = \"" + (trimNumber(mypage)-1) + "\";";
    mDoc.addScript("GoToPage", goToPageScript);
    mDoc.saveAs(this.path);
    mDoc.closeDoc();
    Example file name: tqr02_10a02_003.pdf
    I really appreciate the help you gave me! I don't think i would ever get this to work otherwise. And now it saves me time opening 300+ document manually to set the initial page view, and do this every month!
    Thanks!

  • How to pass multiple dates through open document syntax

    Hi Team,
    I am need to pass more than one date from the summary report to detail report. What is the open document syntax to achieve this requirement. Thanks in advance
    pra

    Hi Pra,
    I believe you would need to use the lsM[NAME] syntax.
    lsM[NAME] is used to specify multiple values for prompts, separated by a comma.
    For instance:
    http://<servername>:<port>/OpenDocument/opendoc/<platformSpecific>?iDocID=Aa6GrrM79cRAmaOSMGoadKI&sID
    Type=CUID&sRefresh=Y&lsMparamStringDR=[c],[d]&lsMparamNumberDR=[3],[4]&lsMparamDateDR=[Date(2003,6,3)],[Date(2003,6,4)]&lsMparamDateTimeDR=[DateTime(2003,6,1,3,1,1)],[DateTime(2003,6,1,4,1,1)]
    Crystal reports
    If the target is a Crystal report, each value must be enclosed in square brackets.
    Web Intelligence documents
    The character ? is a reserved prompt value for Web Intelligence documents in an openDocument URL. Setting the prompt value to lsM[NAME]=? in the URL forces the "Prompts" dialog box to appear for that particular prompt.
    I hope this is a very helpful answer to you.
    Kind regards,
    John

  • How to push the two pdf opened documents in the array?

    Hi all,
    I need to store the two pdf opened documents in the array value(i.e array(0), array(1)) and then get that array value one by one, and print it through AVAlertNote(). Kindly advise me the possiblities and solution.
    Thanks for looking into this.

    What do you mean you want to put the "pdf open documents" in an array?  You mean the PDDoc structures?  Just use a std::vector<> or the like.
    And what did you want to print?
    If you are trying to debug, why not use the source debugger for your platform?

  • Cant open documents now I have upgraded to Lion

    Hi, I upgraded to Lion last week and now can open documents that are sent as attachments to e-mails? The file seems to download but when I try and open it I have this error message..... The document “BAAF__PAR_2008_Parts_A_-_C-4.doc” couldn’t be opened. Thats all I get with no suggestions to try anything else. Any advice?

    Is it just .doc files or does it happen with other types of attached files, e.g. .xls, .pdf, etc...?
