  1. Click the Select Portlets link at the top of the Workpapers Dashboard to open the Select Portlets dialog.
  2. Mark the checkbox next to Workpaper Preview to open the Workpaper Preview portlet in the Workpapers Dashboard.
  3. Click a Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, or Adobe PDF document in the Engagement Binders Tree portlet to view it in the Workpaper Preview portlet.

Notes

  • If you preview a Microsoft Excel 2010 workpaper that contains many extra blank pages, the application may generate an error, as well as lead to further issues when you attempt to send the engagement binder that contains the Excel file to PDF, FileCabinet CS, or GofileRoom. Refer to this Microsoft Community article for potential solutions to this issue.External link (What's this?)
