TCOfficeView previews Microsoft Office documents — Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio, Outlook messages and more — directly in Total Commander's F3 / Quick View (Ctrl+Q) pane. It delegates rendering to the Windows Preview Handlers that an MS Office installation already registers, so previews look exactly like those in Windows Explorer, without any document parsing and without a managed runtime dependency.

If MS Office is not installed (or a handler fails to load), the plugin shows a small information panel with the file's basic metadata instead of an empty pane.

Supported formats

Application Extensions
Word DOC, DOCX, DOCM, RTF
Excel XLS, XLSX, XLSM, XLSB

Installation

Recommended — Total Commander auto-installer:

  1. Download TCOfficeView.v1.0.0.zip below (and verify the digital signature TCOfficeView.v1.0.0.zip.asc [see below])
  2. In Total Commander, navigate to the ZIP and press Enter.
  3. TC detects pluginst.inf and offers to install the plugin — confirm.
  4. Press F3 or Ctrl+Q on any .docx / .xlsx / .pptx to verify.

Manual install: unzip into a persistent folder and register TCOfficeView.wlx (32-bit TC) or TCOfficeView.wlx64 (64-bit TC) under Configuration → Options → Plugins → Lister plugins → Configure → Add.

Verifying the download

Each release ships a detached GPG signature alongside the ZIP:

gpg --keyserver keys.openpgp.org --recv-keys 489C5EC80FD62BE89E59B4F719C13E8CE0F5DB61
gpg --verify TCOfficeView.v1.0.0.zip.asc TCOfficeView.v1.0.0.zip

Expected: Good signature from "Michal Růžička <ruzicka.mich@gmail.com>"
Key fingerprint: 489C 5EC8 0FD6 2BE8 9E59 B4F7 19C1 3E8C E0F5 DB61
