Tips & Tricks |
QuickLook for Beginnersby Alex Kaloostian
If you are using Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion and you have not tried QuickLook, you are missing out. Simply click on a file to highlight it, and tap the space bar. This should open a preview of the file.
The best part of QuickLook is that it can preview files you otherwise wouldn’t be able to open. PowerPoint, Photoshop, Excel files? No problem! Even without their aforementioned apps. I have given PowerPoint presentations on a Mac without PowerPoint in a pinch, just by using QuickLook. |
