So using Open Office is a bit of a last resort, to be honest, but you might find it works well enough until when/if Word Prefect ships with a preview handler for Vista/Win7.Īfter spending a week of evenings working my way through countless "fix it for WPD preview" threads here & elsewhere, I finally stumbled across the answer. Earlier versions failed to resize properly when the viewer window (or Internet Explorer) was resized, etc. (Most of these bugs affect Internet Explorer as well, so they're not Opus doing something wrong.) For example, the version I have on my test machine seems to ignore mouse clicks and will only open one file (of any type) before it gets into a state where every subsequent file just shows blank space (until soffice.bin is killed via Task Manager). I have found the OpenOffice ActiveX control to be very unreliable over the years, with different bugs coming and going with every new version of OpenOffice. Now, saying all that, your mileage may vary. (Note: This will not affect what happens when.
Installed the attached registry settings, which I made to associate the OpenOffice ActiveX control with. WPD to the Generic ActiveX section at the bottom and not the Web Browser section.)
(Note: In the screenshot above, a different extension is being added to the Web Browser section.
