Thumbnails of .DOC files?

[John Jay Smith]

I seem to remember that some version of OFFICE enabled
thumbnail view of .DOC, .XLS, .PTT files inside
windows explorer. However I cannot find this function anywhere.

Is this correct or am I imagining things???

Is it possible to do this with OFFICE 2003?
And if not directly though Office, perhaps a patch or
program?

THANKS

The feature you are thinking of was called , if I recall, "File Preview"
rather than "Thumbnail".
Preview was, indeed, an extremely useful feature. Microsoft licensed it from
from a third party and integrated it into with Windows 95.
I purchased a retail version that worked well with Windows 98, but the
company was no longer in business when Windows XP shipped.
I haven't tried it, but you might look at this product:
