Adding to Office file type

Hi there,
I want to add a new extension to the "office files" find files type filter. According to the help file I can adjust some of these in the Previewed Formats section - however in this section office documents are lumped together with Web. Is there any easy way of adding a file type to this filter or even adding a new custom filter please?
thanks,
Ach

Thanks for the quick reply - I want to add *.pdf to the list (I know its not a MS Office extension). I haver added this tweak to the config file under the general section in both of the following ways and neither works:
Code: Select all
OfficePreviewCustomExtensions=*.pdf
am I doing it right?

You know how to tweak?

The steps I am taking are:
1. Opening the config file
2. Adding the line requested and saving the file
3. selecting restart without saving to load the revised config file
Is that all I need to do?
