Thumbnail preview (Office Open XML files)
Office apps dont save thumbnails by default, afaik (only PowerPoint has it on I believe). You have to enable the option you mentioned above. But yes, now that you mention it, I see that no Word files are generating a thumbnail preview, even with the option on. The corresponding thumbnail.jpeg is simply not packaged in the document, while for Excel/PowerPoint everything seems to be working fine and you can find the thumbnail under docProps.
So yeah, seems to be a bug with Word.
Thank you for your reply,
This does not work for Word, Excel, or PowerPoint:
However, the thumbnail recording options are active. It does not work unfortunately :
- For Word: ;
- For Excel: ;
- For PowerPoint: .
Hm, well for me it works just fine with Excel/PowerPoint, but Word is misbehaving. Open one of the files with a tool such as Winrar/7zip and check the content, do you see a thumbnail.wmf under the docProps folder?
Oh, forgot to ask which Office build are you on?
