10.5: View multi-page documents in the Preview icon Desktop
When viewing a multi-page document in Column View mode, if you hover over the preview icon, you'll see two arrows that let you click through the pages that make up the document. It is not a full scale preview as in Quick Look, but as I use column view most often to navigate, I find this very useful.

[robg adds: This also works with the preview icon in Get Info/Inspector windows, though I found that only worked with PDF files, not text or Word documents.]

You should specify that this is in Finder... I thought you meant the preview app icon...

The mouse wheel also seems to turn pages when hovering the cursor over the icon in column view.

And you should say "scrolling vertically", because I tried horizontally and got nowhere. (I thought that would be the intuitive thing to do… guess I was wrong.)
