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 can get back to me on that would be great |

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. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Viewing multiple Word Documents in succession
some tricks:
1. If the documents can be saved as html or xml, you can build a form (either in VBA or in VB6 or .NET) that shows a preview of the files in an internet explorer control. 2. if the documents are .doc, you can (again) build a form that extracts the summary of the document from it's properties and shows it. that isnt like a preview, and it requires a summary to be avilable. 3. last option , implement the first option (use the ie control) to show .doc files. this actualy works, but will complicate your code and decrease user expirience due to GUI limitations. Ask me if you need info about how to implement each of the above Jay Freedman wrote: On Thu, 23 Feb 2006 18:49:27 -0800, "Spesh" wrote: Hi all, I would like to know how to view WORD documents in succession easily.
