Hi Experts,
I recently came across
a link on the Microsoft Office Blog, displaying a piece of software that makes all Visio documents viewable in Windows Explorer's preview pane. After installing the software, the controls for interacting with the Visio preview come up, but the Visio drawing itself is blank. The same thing happens when using the 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Microsoft Visio Viewer 2013.
To further complicate things, I noticed that if I copied a drawing from an already existing document, then pasted it in to a newly created document, I could preview the newly created document. However, the original document is not preview-able.
Has anybody run in to this problem before? I'm not sure what I can do to fix this, please let me know if you have any ideas!
The computer is running:
Windows 7 x64
Visio 2007
I look forward to your advice!
That wasn't actually the problem, but I appreciate your input. The files that I was trying to preview were not open while trying to preview them in the preview pane.
The problem is that the Visio files I was trying to preview were not compatible with the Microsoft Visio Viewer. In order to make them compatible, I had to open the files in a newer version of Visio (2007) and save each file manually.
