SUMMARY
Thumbnails do not work for DOCX and DOC files (and possibly other Microsoft Office formats like xls files)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Create a docx file (you can use the one attached) and put it into a folder in Dolphin.

OBSERVED RESULT
No thumbnail is generated.

EXPECTED RESULT
Thumbnail is generated. For Open Document formats, this already works thanks to a fix for bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=375176
