Windows 10: Windows 10, Microsoft Office 2007 preview pane "Word could not create the work file. Check...

I purchased a brand new computer with Windows 10 on it. I installed my Microsoft Office 2007 on it with no problem. Everything worked fine. Then a new update for Windows 10 downloaded on my computer and now all of a sudden when I am in my file folder with preview pane on, when I click on a Word document to preview it, I get an error message that states, "Word could not create the work file. Check the temp environment variable." I click OK and it goes away and I can see the preview just fine. It's more of an annoyance than anything. I can use Office just fine. It just happens when in Explorer. I have looked up the error message and tried all sorts of things to fix it, including creating the INetCache.Word folder and changing the registry keys. I even uninstalled Office and reinstalled. Nothing has worked. Is there a fix to this?

Preview pane not working for documents in windows 10

We appreciate the information you've provided. Since all the Office files aren't showing previews, it's possible that the version of Office is causing this. Is your computer running the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of Windows 10? If you have
64-bit Windows 10, your Office suite should be 64-bit as well for full compatibility.



To check the bit version of Office, follow these steps:

• 
  Open any Office program, like Word.
  
• 
  Click File.
  
• 
  Click Account.
  
• 
  Click About Word.
  
• 
  The bit version will be shown on the first line, right after the product version.
  

To check the bit version of your computer, do this:

• 
  Click Start.
  
• 
  Type System and press Enter.
  
• 
  Beside System type, it'll show whether your computer is 32-bit or 64-bit.
