Embedded hidden dates in Word documents.
==============================
Are there Embedded dates hidden in Word documents regarding:

-when a document was Created
-when a document was Printed
-when a document was last Saved

which are completely separate from the file dates stored in the Windows
operating system MFT data (external to the Word file) ??

I want to compare these internal dates with the external Windows dates on a
Word document.

If so, how can I access them ??

Thanks
Paul R.

Download a good Hex editor (WinHex or Hview), open the file with it and the
all the behind the scenes things you never suspected to be in a word
document. You can delete, modify, search and change hex and text values too.

For the items listed, a hex editor is not necessary. Inserting fields for
CREATEDATE, SAVEDATE, and PRINTDATE will give that info.

You can do this with Insert |Field, look in Date and Time column, OR create
a field for each manually by hitting control-F9 and then typing the text (as
above) between the braces, and using right-click to toggle field codes and
update the field.
