In this guide, we will see how to enable File Explorer thumbnail preview for Microsoft Office documents. Select a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint thumbnail and then simultaneously press Alt + P to see the preview of the file in File Explorer. On top of it, once thumbnail preview is enabled for Office documents, these documents support File Explorer preview (not thumbnail preview) as well. The one file is hidden, whereas the thumbnail appears in File Explorer with default settings. When you choose the save thumbnail option for a document in Office, Microsoft Office creates two files while saving the document.
