    MS Word and File Explorer


    I just started using Word 365. I go to File Explorer and open an existing Word doc and make no changes to it. I then close it out. In File Explorer, the listing shows it now has a new “Date modified” with the current date. If I open the doc again and check its properties, it has the “Last Modified” date as the last time I actually made a change to it. How do I stop this from happening? I need the files ordered in the actual “Date modified” not the last opened date.

    Windows 10 File Explorer Preview Pane Word Doc fix

    I had the same problem. I went searching for an answer too, and found this.

    To enable the Preview pane, open File Explorer and follow these steps:

    • In the File Explorer window, click the View tab. The View tab is shown.
    • In the Panes section, click the Preview Pane button. The Preview pane is added to the right side of the File Explorer window.
    • Select several files one by one.

    I was in Word when I opened File Explorer then the View tab. I only had to click the Preview Pane button. A separate column appeared in my list of word files and then I was able to previes all the the docx files. I checked and it seems to work across
    files, so once the Preview Pane **** selected it was selected for all the directory files.

    You've probably already tried this, but I didn't see where you said you were in Word when you clicked the Preview Pane button.

    I've spent the last few years with Win10 and Word 365 and I feel like I've gone backwards. I knew the commands very well, even being able to do some pretty sophisticated design work in Word. Now, I feel like a beginner all over again. I really wish that
    MS hadn't screwed so heavily with the commands. To me, I know they're there, but now their location is hidden. Scheese!
