There is no update or tweak available that will allow Office 2003 apps
preview in Vista.
You can get the preview if you save the file as an .rtf, but of course you
will lose all of the formatting for the document.
Another user had an idea about installing the free trial version of Office
2007, which would install all of the preview filters and possibly allow the
Office 2003 files to use these. But he never returned to give us the results
of that test?
