Hi,

It is a quite old question, but still...

In general there will be no problem with invoking native installed applications. Especial: if you just open a word document it should invoke the corresponding handler automatically (iow: word or excel in your case). In general: This should just work 'by default'...

The only thing to keep in mind is whether you want to run the invoked native application in native mode or within the virtualization bubble. Running it native will be the usual desired way, as it allows integration with an already running instance. For example: a user runs outlook natively (to check for mail) and runs a virtualized app that wants to send a mail. The mail has to be sent by the native instance or the mail archive (PST) or profile might get corrupted...

Invoking the native app as virtualised is fine of course for all tools, small self containing apps and possibly plugins.

To specify the way how to open the native application check the ThinApp user manual on 'ChildProcessEnvironmentExceptions' (and the default as well).
