ZorinOS lite/core (checked both)

Even with Libre Office installed, in folder/desktop view I can not see the thumbnails of .odt/doc files.

Is there any way I can enable it in Zorin?

sudo apt install -y libgsf-bin

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:flimm/ooo-thumbnailer
sudo apt-get install ooo-thumbnailer
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:flimm/ooo-thumbnailer

close and reopen the file manager.
this works only for .odt files. searching for a solution for .doc
