Viewing a file before it is open

W

There is an option under File, Open called preview. Yet I can not view any
excel files. It always shows "Preview not available" Is there a setting
that I need to change to be able to do this?

You must save the file with the "Save preview picture" enabled for that file.

There is no global save function that I know of.

With the file open go to File>Properties>Summary.

Checkmark option at lower left.

Save the file.

you could get a progam called Quick Veiw it allows you to veiw stuff like
pictures, docs, spreadsheets, without opening them
that is provided that the file is not protected
