Preview Excel Files
There is a view entitled preview in the view drop down list....when opening a
file, selecting views,followed by preview - I am unable to view excel file contents prior to opening the individiual files? Can excel files be previewed prior to opening the individual files? |

Preview Excel Files
If you saved a preview picture.
In xl2003 (and below??) Open each file File|Properties|Summary tab|check "save preview picture" Yep, you have to set this up before you can preview it. lbj595 wrote: There is a view entitled preview in the view drop down list....when opening a file, selecting views,followed by preview - I am unable to view excel file contents prior to opening the individiual files?

Preview Excel Files
Hi
The sheets will only display on Preview if they are set to when they are saved. On the Tools/Options/General tab there is an option for 'Prompt for workbook properties'. If this is ticked, when the workbook is saved a box pops up for information - along with a tick box for 'Save Preview Picture'. Hope this helps. Andy. "lbj595" wrote in message ...

Preview Excel Files
Hello Dave.
Yes, I try the steps, but when I view by going to My ComputerDrive E and place the cursor at the file, the tiny page of 4 cm x 3 cm appears at the bottom left hand corner of the screen. The content of the page is hardly visible because it is too small. I am using MS Window 2000 OS. May I know is there a way to zoom in or enlarge the page ? Thanks Low Thanks Low -- A36B58K641 "Dave Peterson" wrote: If you saved a preview picture. In xl2003 (and below??)

I don't use Win2k. Sorry.
But if you use Excel's File|open, then look at the preview mode, do you see a larger picture. Mr. Low wrote: Hello Dave.
