Preview Not Available - Templates
Word 2007 - When creating a new template, how do avoid seeing the "Preview
Not Available" when I go to select it from File... New? In earlier versions, we went to File... Properties and checked Preview. I found the 07 File Properties, but nothing about the Preview. Thanks Ardell |

When you create a new template, in the save as dialog box, check Save
thumbnail. You should be aware that once you check it, it will remain checked for future saves until you uncheck it.

For the 2007 file formats, the new Open XML Format handles images
differently than the binary format and is therefore more stable. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

Preview Not Available - Templates
But does it still add to file size? Also, I believe someone said that the
Preview view is no longer available in the File Open dialog, which would eliminate some of the other arguments mentioned in my article. -- Suzanne S.

Preview Not Available - Templates
Saving a thumbnail of the file (save Preview) in the 2007 format is almost
identical to saving a document with a small image. The size it adds is minimal and since the new files sizes are about 75% smaller than the *.doc format, even if you save a thumbnail with the document it's still smaller than before. (During the beta I tested the thumbnail and tried to force the same file bloat we see in previous versions, such as adding a table at the top of the document with dashed or dotted borders, and wasn't able to reproduce the behavior.) Here's an example of file size using a blank document: Word 97-2003 (no thumbnail): 31 KB Word 2007 (no thumbnail): 13 KB Word 2007 (thumbnail saved): 23 KB The main advantage of saving a document with a thumbnail when using Windows Vista is the larger thumbnail views when viewing documents in an Exploring window. Also, the Open and Save As dialog boxes have the "Save Thumbnail" option in the dialog box so it's no longer buried away. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.
