I have Word 2003 installed. But I can't get a Preview for .doc/.docx in Explorer Preview Pane.

I found this in other computer (Word 2013 installed):

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.doc\ShellEx\{8895b1c6-b41f-4c1c-a562-0d564250836f}]
@="{84F66100-FF7C-4fb4-B0C0-02CD7FB668FE}"

I didn't find {84F66100-FF7C-4fb4-B0C0-02CD7FB668FE} in my Registry.
Any suggestions, how to get a Preview for .doc/.docx in my computer (W7 x64, Word 2003)?

There is no {8895b1c6-b41f-4c1c-a562-0d564250836f} preview handler in Office 2003.

You will need Office 2007 or later.
It should be possible to install office 2003 and 2007 at the same time.

In fact, I do have in my registry {8895b1c6-b41f-4c1c-a562-0d564250836f}, a lot of it.
For Example:

Code: Select all

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pdf\ShellEx\{8895b1c6-b41f-4c1c-a562-0d564250836f}]
@="{DC6EFB56-9CFA-464D-8880-44885D7DC193}"
It seems the problem is with the missing of {84F66100-FF7C-4fb4-B0C0-02CD7FB668FE}.
For .docx I'm using this:
Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack
I'm not interested in another installation of new OFFICE. Can't I get somehow the Preview separately without Office installation?
