File and Folder Thumbnail Views

I have many Microsoft Word files with similar names, I would like to preview the one I want. I know I can use the My Recent Documents link but the list of files with similar names does not show me the document I want. Here’s how to preview Microsoft Word documents .

  • Inside the Microsoft Word, Click File
  • At the bottom of the drop-down menu, click Properties
  • On the lower-left corner is the Save preview picture box
  • Make sure the Save preview picture checkbox is ‘checked-off’

Now, go to the folder that hold the Microsoft Word document. From the folders’ Menu Bar:

  • Click View > Thumbnails > double-click on the document you found

or

  • Click the Views toolbar button (the last one) on the Standard Toolbar
  • Click Thumbnails

This preview gives you view a document without opening every other document, finding out it was not what you wanted, and continuing with a ‘process of elimination’ in finding the right document.
