I too don't like Windows 8, a profoundly strange move by MS designers in my view, trying to get all us loyal users to learn a whole new way of working, but kill the naff metro interface as much as possible and beneath it lies probably a better version of windows 7 (which I like(d) a lot).Īll that said, mac os is great, and being able to use win vm in parallels is also great, best of all worlds, but be on notice, parallels can introduce some buggy and quirky behaviour in your VM and the software within that, including excel. There may be some keyboard behaviour that you would need to tailor in parallels but on the whole you would find the work environment similar to working in windows standalone. My macbook air has an alt key (it's an alt/option key) and I use excel extensively under win 8.1 virtual machine and the keyboard shortcuts generally seem to work. I can't answer about using mac version of excel as have never used it, but presuming you are asking about running windows/excel in parallels, then…. I need some convincing before I leap into the Mac world. Would all of the Windows keys (CTRL, ALT etc) then work as they do in Windows when connected to the iMac running Parallels? I have a cool Logitech illuminated keyboard that I'd like to take with me to the iMac and use in Parallels. What happens if I was to plug a Windows keyboard into the iMac, would the ALT key work then in Parallels? I understand that on a Mac there is no equivalent keyboard access to the Ribbon because there is no ALT key on the Mac keyboard â€¦â€¦ even if running Excel for Windows in Parallels? These shortcuts, ingrained in my brain over 20 years are considerably faster than mouse equivalents, so I worry about losing those. the letter in the menu item that used to get underlined in older versions of Excel) and frequently use old remembered ALT combinations (such as ALT, E, S, V gives you Paste Special). I also use the ALT key a lot to get to the access keys needed to drive the ribbon with a keyboard only (i.e. On Excel I make extensive use of keyboard shortcuts, such as F2 (edit a formula) and F4 (the repeat key). My concerns are that my main usage of the computer (for work) are Excel and Outlook.
