Find attachment previewers
Attachment Preview, a new feature in the 2007 Microsoft Office system, allows you to preview some attachment file types without opening them. The attachment previewers that come with the 2007 Office release are on by default. For more information on using attachment previewers, see Preview attachments.
Note: To preview an attached file created in an 2007 Microsoft Office system application, you must have that 2007 Office application installed on your computer. For example to preview a Word attachment, you must have Word installed. To preview an Excel attachment, you must have Excel installed.
Important: By default, Microsoft Outlook blocks potentially unsafe attachment files (including .bat, .exe, .vbs, and .js files) that can contain viruses. You cannot view or access a blocked attachment file, but a list of blocked attachment files appears in the InfoBar at the top of your message. You should preview or open attachments from trustworthy sources only.
