It might be that I was doing something wrong in the "save as" dialog of office 
2010. I haven't worked in windows7 for a long while and wasn't very clear on 
what to do - I'll try again with a fresh mind tommorrow.

  Hi Phil,


  The shared folders should let you create and minipulate files and folders in 
the shared folder.  I also do this in my dropbox and my documents folder as 
well as my desktop and all works well in VM fusion with windows 7.  I'm using 
VM Fusion 5.

        I have the "documents" folder, and my "dropbox" folder set as shared 
folders in my Windows7 VM. I am able to access and edit folders in the Dropbox 
folder, but I tried to write a word document (.doc) to the documents folder, 
and no joy - it didn't show up there.
    Question: Is it the case that the VM can only read/write existing files in 
shared folders, and not actually create new files there?
    I'm trying to figure out why the test file I created in Microsoft Word 
didn't save into the mac's documents folder. I can access and browse the 
folder, but I couldn't create anything into it.
