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.

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 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. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
