Word Docs Don't Exhibit In Vista Explorer Preview Pane

Word documents do not exhibit in the Vista Explorer preview pane. Excel and
Powerpoint documents exhibit as intended.

Most of the time when I highlight a Word doc in Vista Explorer, I get a
message that Word 2007 has an error, and after Windows searches for a
solution, another messsage appears to the effect that Word must be closed.

Every once in a while it works properly. Other times the Word document will
appear in the preview pane but then freezes.

I've tried it with newly created .docx files, but that makes no difference
(almost all my files were created in Office 2000/XP).

I've looked at the Event log, but if there were any clues there I'm not
sophisticated enough to determine that.

Vista Business and Office 2007 came pre-installed on my Dell machine.

As one of the more useful features of Vista (to me at least) I would very
much like to get this to work. No-one seems to have a solution. Any
thoughts?
 
I'm having the exact same problem. Anyone else? Is there an Office Word
2007 complaint file we can contact?
