The OLE viewer in dBASE is limited in its abilities. If you want to see the whole document, you probably need to do something different. I have never recommended the use of the OLE field in general. Instead, store the files in a directory, and store a reference to the files. You can then provide your users the ability to view the document(s) in their native software (Word, Acrobat Viewer, etc.).
