There is an option under File, Open called preview. Yet I can not view any
excel files. It always shows "Preview not available" Is there a setting
that I need to change to be able to do this?
 
You must save the file with the "Save preview picture" enabled for that file.

There is no global save function that I know of.

With the file open go to File>Properties>Summary.

Checkmark option at lower left.

Save the file.

you could get a progam called Quick Veiw it allows you to veiw stuff like
pictures, docs, spreadsheets, without opening them
that is provided that the file is not protected
it will only veiw the front worksheet when veiwing XL
