In Windows 7, how does one preview a document by using "file-open" in Word 2010?

Word has the preview function enabled, click"File> Open", You do not need to open the document to view its content. When you need to search for a specific document, you can use this function to avoid repeated operations to open or close multiple documents, saving a lot of time.

However, after the last update to Office 2010, the preview tool error is displayed when the Word is opened and the Word file cannot be previewed.

What's more, the preview of Excel and PPT files is normal. What's going on?

Cause explanation:

When previewing a file, the system will call the default open program of this file type. Use the"File> Open"Command, because the Word program has been started, so you can no longer preview the Word file, so an error occurs.

Tips:

How can we solve this problem? Is it hard to find the target file in one document?

Neither! You can preview a file in Windows Explorer even if you cannot open the Preview file.

Open Windows Resource Manager, click"Display preview pane"Button.

Find the file you want to preview and click Select. The preview pane displays the file content.
