    Welcome to another round of dumb newbie osx questions!

    lol. So the current problem I have is the following. I installed parallels 3, which I run in coherence mode. I installed office 2007 and with smart select made it so that office files open through parallels in windows. The problem is that the icons in osx remain blank. Is there a way to change all .doc .docx .xls icons to their corresponding program icons? I'm not sure if I'm explaining myself very well. They don't have to be like the windows icons. If anyone has any links to some office icons that would be great.

    So has anyone ran into this problem and it's solution?

    Thanks in advance.

    I guess you could go around and change each icon by itself but that's pretty hard.

    My recommendation is to get a program that reads .doc files and install that. It'll then assign it with an icon. :) The .docx files I'm not sure about though as I heard Macs can't read them. This might have been fixed in an update though, I'm not sure.
