Comments on: Create a Thumbnail of Microsoft Office Documents when You save it http://www.technospot.net/blogs/create-a-thumbnail-of-microsoft-office-documents-when-you-save-it/ Teaching How to use PC, Mobile and Internet the Right Way Sun, 22 Nov 2009 13:39:03 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Jacob Carstens http://www.technospot.net/blogs/create-a-thumbnail-of-microsoft-office-documents-when-you-save-it/#comment-1754 Jacob Carstens Fri, 09 Jan 2009 15:30:29 +0000 http://www.technospot.net/blogs/?p=3177#comment-1754 It appears to be harder to find in Windows XP: In office 2007 on XP, you need to select it as an option in the "document properties" window. The button to activate that window is not available in the default configuration, so you need to add the "properties" button by customizing the toolbars first, then click the button and select "advanced" to get to the "save thumbnail" option. It sounds like a joke, but this is how to do it. Only about 10 mouse clicks and two minutes time... In office 2000 on xp the "properties" dialog is available in the files menu, and the thumbnail option not hidden behind an "advanced" button, making the operation a lot simpler. There is no documented option to save thumbnails pr. default in all documents as far as I can tell. Please do correct me if I'm wrong. On a more rambling sidenote: OpenOffice saves thumbnails by default on all documents, and find it hard to imagine why Microsoft would choose to omit this feature. Backwards compatibility or just backwards thinking? It appears to be harder to find in Windows XP:
