| | Windows Vista Layout Preview Pane not showing documents In Windows Explorer, the Layout Preview Pane will not preview any documents i.e. Word, Excel. It only shows PDF's, .JPGS etc. This computer is using Office 2003. On my other PCs all documents preview regardless of Office version. Any suggestions why preview may not work for Word and Excel Document. -- With Appreciation Margy South Africa |
