Default Viewing multiple Word Documents in succession

Hi all,

I would like to know how to view WORD documents in succession easily. I have
a folder with about 180 documents in it and I would like to open the first
document and then somehow click a "next" button to get to the next document,
in that specific folder, rather than going to "open documents" and then
clicking on the next file....a slideshow of documents perhaps


If you'd be satisfied with seeing just the first part of the first
page, you can do that within the File Open dialog. In the upper
right corner of the dialog, click the down arrow of the Views button
(just to the left of the word "Tools") and choose Preview. As you
click each file in the list, the preview will appear on the right.

If you need to open each document in turn for editing, then you'll
need a macro. Let us know if you need that.
