One of the things I've talked about in this tutorial is one of the new feature of Outlook 2007, and that is that you can preview a file without leaving the e-mail message, and you can do that by just clicking on the attachment and you get this little preview file button and you get a selection here, always warn before previewing this type of file. So, if I do that, I can click on that and then preview the file right there, but now the next time I select a word document, a DOCX document in an e-mail message I will preview it automatically. Well, what if I don't want to do that? What if I have unchecked that, now I want to go back and check it back again. Well, how do you do that? Because this is new, I want to make sure you understand how to re-enable that behavior, that double checking of hey, do you want to preview this file. You go to the trust center to do that. So go to the tools menu and then open up trust center. And then as you can probably guess, the section you're looking for is attachment handling. So, this is what you want to focus on here is the attachment document preview, turn off attachment document previewers, you can open it up, e-mail previewer, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Word Previewer, so these are all of the previewers that are at work in previewing any attachments that you have, so you can disable some of them if you want to, so this is how you configure all of these options. So, let's leave that checked and see what happens here if I go back and click on okay, and I'll select out, I'll go here, and then notice that this won't have any affect on documents or files that you've already previewed in an e-mail message, but if you go and find other files that you haven't already previewed, then it should, you should see that behavior in effect. So if I select this Excel spreadsheet, give it a click, and once again, I'm asked whether or not I want to preview the file, and a check box here to warn me about previewing this type of file.
