any ideas on how to get the preview pane to work in word 12 on vista
ultimate?

I've changed the layout of the open dialog box to preview, and when I select
a document the preview pane stays white. Doesn't matter if its a office 12
doc saved with thumbnails or a office 11 doc...

Mike,
It only works for pictures as far as I can tell. Definetely a loss.

As Luc says, it won't work for any Office documents but does work for most
graphics, htm, pdf (if you have Acrobat reader installed), etc. This Vista
feature only works if the application writer has created a viewer for their
format (such as Adobe of PDF). I wonder if you install the Word Viewer it
will work correctly, but that may cause other unwanted side effects!

Definitely a loss. Going backwards in fact as it worked flawlessly in
XP/2003.

Thanks.

The only bit I don't get is that if I use windows explorer and change the
layout for preview pane - it works for office docs!

Just not in the office open dialog box... Surely it's a bug that they'll
fix.

Thanks.

I have my fingers crossed that many niggles like this are going to be sorted
with SP1 (probably first quarter of 2008).
