Troubleshoot file properties

I can't view file properties.

You may be trying to view file properties while previewing the file from the list of files that appears when you open, insert, search for, or save a file. For example, if the file is visible in the Open dialog box in Preview view (click the arrow next to Views ), the Properties command is available on the shortcut menu that appears when you right-click a file. However, when you click the Properties command from the shortcut menu, the Properties dialog box does not appear.

To view file properties from a list of files, click the arrow next to Views , and then click Properties.

The Contents tab in the Properties dialog box is blank.

I can't print file properties.

You may be trying to print file properties from the list of files that appears when you open, insert, search for, or save a file. The Print dialog box is not available from this list.

To print file properties, open the document, click Print on the File menu, and then select an option in the Print what box.
