Preview in Open dialog not showing

(OP)
Hello,

When I open a file via the Open dialog box, the preview does not show. Is there a way to turn this on? I know the files have the preview saved because other users have them with the same files. I could not locate anything in the SW help.

Thank you,

Ahem  .....

In the 'OPEN' dialog box, is the preview check box near the bottom checked?

Hi Craig,

Don't worry, all your questions have been really challenging. In fact so challenging that we I read this question I assumed you ran into some bizarre issue involving the "preview image". We are all human.

Glad this one is fixed.

Regards,

Joseph
