1.6 Displaying the QuickViewer for Folder Items

Use the QuickViewer to scan the contents of your items in a folder. The QuickViewer saves time because you don’t need to open each item; you simply click an item or press the Down-arrow key to read your items.

If you click a document reference, the document displays in the QuickViewer. You can display an item’s attachment by clicking the attachment in the drop-down list on the QuickViewer tool bar. OLE attachments, however, do not display in the QuickViewer.
