Any document browser available?

How to browse through Word and Excel documents folder?
When there is a document folder, is there any application to view documents
like in a slideshow, changing to next document with mouse click?
Mainly Office 2002 and 2003 Excel and Word.

I did some googling but couldn't find anything functional.
There certainly might be some image browser like application, capable to
show preview images and etc.

Thanks for any ideas.

The trial version of Office 2007 is the latest "viewer".

Hi

I installed Office 2007 in Trial mode but couldn't find any searched
function.

Which Office 2007 part offers 1. a stepping through documents in one folder
(like a slideshow) or 2. a folder documents album thumbnail preview mode?

Could you please be more precise?

Thanks!

It sounds like you're trying to find something along the lines of a album
with small versions of a file without having to open the file. I've never
seen anything like that. I would suggest naming your files something that
would indicate what info that file contains.

Hi,

I have seen few years ago a photo album software which had a built in
document preview, so that along with image thumbnails were documents in
thumbnail view. About this soft I can't recall anything more details or
capabilities.

But situation when someone gets a thousands of documents with not
descriptive names shouldn't be so rare.
Renaming of such a bunch of documents is waste of time as most of these are
most likely not needed later.

So the single solution is a Document browser (closing previous and opening
next with a mouse click).

It may be related to image album application or document preview capable
photo album application, which might be also of a great help.

I can't believe that something like that doesn't exist. In fact it really
feels, that it should be a component of Office any suite.

Don't know what you googled, but there seems to be plenty he

Hi Gordon,

Following the link you provided opened google with most sites colored as
visited (by me) :-)
If you follow any link there, is there what I'm looking for? No.

Most lead to the shareware lists which seem to be rather irelevant to the
topic.
Something I found indeeed and installed with great expectations, but these
failed to open most documents or where else not usable.

I have spent 5-6 hours searching and experimentig without ANY real results.

Hi Bob

The same is available in Office 2003 and not sufficent for browsing 700
documents named just by numbers.
I have downloaded several appliocations which claim to offer required
functionality but no luck, these are capable to0 open only 50% of docs or so
sloooow, that I have stopped evaluating.

Seems that insufficient thought was given to naming the documents. What
is it you actually want to find by "browsing" a document?
