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.

I know that you can print this info into a document using this code:
Selection.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldEmpty, Text:=
_
"CREATEDATE ", PreserveFormatting:=True
Selection.TypeParagraph
Selection.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldEmpty, Text:=
_
"EDITTIME ", PreserveFormatting:=True
Selection.TypeParagraph
Selection.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldEmpty, Text:=
_
"PRINTDATE ", PreserveFormatting:=True
Selection.TypeParagraph
Selection.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldEmpty, Text:=
_
"SAVEDATE ", PreserveFormatting:=True
Selection.TypeParagraph
Selection.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldEmpty, Text:=
_
"DATE ", PreserveFormatting:=True
Selection.TypeParagraph
