Thank-you for the suggestion. Now the files always display in an external browser or the appropriate application. The Details pane is empty but still useless. I would really like to add notes or comments to this pane. It's part of my standard UR view but is of no real use when working with Office files.

If I choose to link the file, the path to the file is displayed in the Details pane, which seems like a good thing. However, after I click on the link, the link disappears from the Details pane until I go to another Item in the tree pane and then return.

Still a fabulous program and I'm learning to work through the details....
