&lt;td align="left" colspan="2" valign="top"&gt;Did you know you can tell MicroStation V8 what image to display as the thumbnail in the MicroStation Manager?

By saving your preview your other users can change their Explorer view to &lt;em&gt;Thumbnail&lt;/em&gt; and see exactly what you want them to see outside of MicroStation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
