Next time someone sends you an attachment, instead of double-clicking,
Microsoft Office Standard 2007, try single-clicking on it. Outlook 2007 has a great new feature that previews an attachment when you single-click on it:Outlook can preview many common types of files. Images work great, as do files created in Word, Excel,
Microsoft Office 2007 Professional Plus, PowerPoint,
Office 2010 Pro Plus Key, and Visio. If you are using Windows Vista you can also preview audio and video files. With Adobe Reader 8.1 installed, you can even preview PDF files.Many previewers allow you to interact with the attachment in some basic ways. For example,
Office Pro 2007, the PowerPoint previewer lets you advance through each of the slides in the PowerPoint file,
Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus, all without leaving Outlook!All those times you would normally double-click, try single-click. Once you’re done previewing, you can go back to the original message by clicking the “Message” button.Let me know what you think!And hey, if you’re a developer and you want to write a preview handler for Outlook and Vista, check out this MSDN article: Andy Brauninger
