My laptop is a Mac with its own version of Office installed. I have to run a few programs in a Windows environment, so I have Parallels Desktop also installed with Windows 10. Several of these programs that need to be run in Windows have features that require Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, but they are not able to open the Mac versions of Office from within Parallels.
Because Parallels runs fairly slowly, I would prefer to continue using Office within the Mac OS, but would very much like the ability to run these added features of my Windows-only programs. Any ideas? Would I be able to install and run both installs from one Office license (it's the same computer!)? Or any way to trick Parallels/Windows 10 into thinking the Office for Mac installs are native and have it open them over in Mac land (this isn't unprecedented, as other programs open in the Mac environment with double-clicks in Parallels/Windows)?
- Parallels makes it painless to set up virtual machines, and Parallels Desktop Lite is a free version that can make Linux and macOS virtual machines for free. Even better: this software works with the macOS Mojave Beta as of right now, meaning you can get a Mojave virtual machine set up quickly without having to deal with the command line.
- In Part 1 of the Parallels Mac Management for SCCM series I installed the Parallels Configuration Manager Console Extension. I installed this on my site server ‘ConfigMgr’. Part 2 focused on the installation of the Parallels Proxy which I installed on a remote server called ‘Parallels’ which.

- In fact, that's how Parallels works on the technical level - each VM is a separate Mac OS X process - that's why it gets two dock icons automatically. So I still vote for making this fact (of one App per VM) even more apparent, by giving them different icons.
- Finally, if you are running Parallels and you find that your USB devices are being captured by Mac OS X but not your virtual guest OS, you can also go to the Devices menu, find the peripheral in question, and choose it to have Parallels wrest control from Mac OS X and hand it to your guest operating system.
- On of Parallels 12’s best new features is the tight integration with operating system images, and access to trials. While Microsoft has ceased support for Windows 7 and Windows 8, that doesn’t.
It tells you how in the Boot Camp documentation that you can view before you make a partition. You can either click the black diamond shape in the Windows notification bar and click 'Restart into Mac OS X' or reboot while holding the option key and then choose your Mac OS X partition.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Mac Os High Sierra
Edit: Word, Excel, and PowerPoint for Mac are all the default file types for their respective files in Parallels/Windows, and the problem seems to be when the Windows-only programs call to open Office that they're having trouble communicating through Parallels.
Mac Os Mojave
Edit 2: Does my business account really include 5 Mac/PC installs per user? We're the tier of Office 365 for Business without email hosting. This can't be right. Why would that be a feature Microsoft just gives away to businesses for each user? If this is right, I can have these two separate installs on my work laptop (one in Mac OS, the other in Windows) then install Office on the beater field laptop I sometimes use and still have two installs left? Am I able to use these installs on a personal computer (or two) per the license agreement?
