Point one: I would like to get SW to update the Thumbnail ever time I hit the save. Point Two. I have a part number creation spread sheet in excel and I would like to have a picture ref to the thumbnail for prt, ass and drw. Anna suggested that it would take a API in excel or something to achieve it.

All of the files I transferred over from my old laptop that were saved in .docx format show thumbnails. But none of the new saves show them (that is, any new .docx file with Save Thumbnails checked will not save the thumbnail).

Of course I'm checking the box that says, Save Thumbnail. All documents I open (mostly resumes) are subsequently saved in .docx format. With my old laptop (dead), I'd select the drop-down box to save to as Word Document (.docx) file with is the newer format and then keep the Save Thumbnail box checked. I do the exact same thing now and it will not save them with a thumbnail.

I'd like a sample of two files of which one should be with working thumbnails. I would prefer them to have identical text (copy/paste from older file to new file). You can either upload them somewhere or email me (wiseleo at gmail). .docx is internally a Zip file format.
