I'm sorry, I misread your question and the options I gave are very good but do not address getting the image you want.
See Redirecting


There is also a checkbox in the Advanced Properties dialog that should be checked.

I appreciate the replies, but it is still not working. I'm still looking at 3 blank template documents when I go to create File, New, Shared. I appreciate you sharing what you have shared, but so far changing the Save a thumbnail hasn't made a difference. Also, there wasn't anything in Advanced Options I could find that had anything to do with the Template Preview Pane.

The last link you sent me was Save as a Thumbnail (which I have already set) and the Advanced options showed how to turn it on for all documents, which I don't really want to do as it will increase the size of all documents. I'm okay increasing the size of the templates, but not all my documents.

I wanted to share my version information in case that was important. My computer is Windows 11 and I'm running Office 365 with Word version 2203.
