Default Tooltip on word document on network path

Is it possible to show extendes tooltip information on Word documents
when browsing on a network path?

I am browsing some Word documents on my home network, and the path says
"\\fileserver\path\to\document.doc". When i hover the mouse over my
document, the tooltip shows basiv info, such as type, size and modified
date. When I copy the same file to my local disk, the tooltip also
shows the fields set as built in properties (author, subject, etc).

Is this a result of some securityissues, or is it just a setting I have
forgotten to enable?

Regards
Staale

ToolTips do not display complete information about files that are located on
a network share:
