When will the program-code of Libre Office allow preview of ODT-1.2-files in Windows (File-)Explorer Preview Pane without having (newest) MS Word installed?

My System is Windows 10, beneath Apache Open Office (4.1.3) and since few days Libre Office 5.0.3 is MS Word 2007 installed. I cannot see previews of my ODF/ODT-1.2-files in Windows (File-)Explorers Preview Pane, what I find quite annoying. I am coming from Apache OpenOffice and have now Libre Office installed because it delivers an additonal trick to it, since the files can be stored as “Microsoft Word 2007-2013 Open Document”- format, what isn´t possible with Apache Open Office. But that also …

On my paintings, Windows Explorer can show preview of Microsoft Office documents the use of Windows Explorer’s preview panel (View > Press “preview panel” icon and pick a Microsoft Office report). That laptop has Microsoft Office 2010 and Windows 10, 10240 update.

But on my laptop I even have Windows 10, 10586.63 update with LibreOffice four.4.Five.2, and I can’t preview .DOC or .XLS documents, nor .ODT or .ODS documents on Windows Explorer’s preview panel.

Do you mean that you can leaf through the document, or that you only see a thumbnail image of the first page? Please note that MS Word is developed by Microsoft and that, therefore, it’s easy for MS to add previewing of their own file types in Windows Explorer. LibreOffice is a competitor, and why would MS help the competition?

I think it is nearly impossible to leaf through the document or thumbnail on explorer...
