Using the preview pane
You can preview documents using the preview pane, so you don't have to open and close each document. Previewing allows you to see part of a document's contents without having to open the actual document.

The preview pane is a separate frame that opens in the view you are in, exposing a part of the document that is selected. By default, each time you access an application, the preview pane opens in the state it was in when you closed the application.
