What happened to Quickview?

[Guest]

Word 95 had a feature called Quickview. I could right click a file from a
list of files in word, and a menu would come up with one option labeled
Quickview. The other options were delete, rename, etc. By selecting
Quickview, I could take a quick look at the text in the document without
actually opening it. This was very helpful when a document search turned up
several documents, and I needed to look at each document to determine which
one that I wanted. Without quickview, I must open each document, and if I
pick wrong, I must re-run the search to get my list of documents back.

Is Quickview or something similar available in Word 2003?

Hi Larry,

Quickview was a 3rd party product that was part
of Windows 95 that MS didn't relicense. It's
still available

Looking at thumbnails or file previews of Word documents
is still supported by Windows, and in Word in File=>open
with the 'preview' view.

Is their anything in Word 2003 that works like Quickview? Bying it for my
home computer is no problem, but adding it to my work computer is.

I just answered my own question. If I right click the file and open with Word
Pad, I get a similar effect. I can see the text of the document in Word Pad,
but I do not lose the results of my search. Thanks again.
