Before installing office 2003. (I had office xp/2000).when I single click on
word or PowerPoint files I was able to see thumbnail view of that file in
left side of folder. Like background or contents of word documents without
opening it but I can not see now. How can I enable that function in office
2003.is this function supported in office 2003.please let me know. Thanks in
advance.

In the Open dialog, go to the Views icon (looks like a PC window) and click on
the little arrowhead to the right. Click on Preview. Now, in the list of files
you see, hold down Ctrl and click on one. A preview will appear the way that
you are used to. Keep the Ctrl key down and click again to de-select. Then
with Ctrl + click you can preview another file.

Note: Once you select Preview as the View mode, it will stay set, so you only
have to do this once.

Thanks for your reply. What I want to know is how to view (preview)
PowerPoint /word file with out opening it. Like if I single click PowerPoint
presentation/word file in " mydocumenets" it used to show me the
picture/content of the file left hand side without even opening PowerPoint
or word. how can I enable it in office 2003.

This is enabled in Windows, not in Office, since you're using a Windows
window, not, say, an Office open dialog box.

So open My Documents and go to View/Thumbnails. After you do that, go to
Tools/Folder Options and on the View tab, click "apply to all folders" so
that that's the view you'll see the next time you open a Windows window.

office xp/2000 versions, if i single click on saved files it used to display
contents of the file left side of the folder(picture or word documents
contents).not thumbnail view.like when you single click on any BMP/JPG files
