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.
 
These dates can be viewed through File | Properties. They can be inserted in
the document text using DocProperty (or CreateDate, PrintDate, and SaveDate)
fields.

Yes. There are fields that you can insert that will display the information;
you can use File, Propoerties dialog to find some of this information and
you can right-click on the document using Windows Explorer and select
Properties that will also provide information. These should corroborate each
other.
