How can you tell when you started a Word Document?

Question

I started a story sometime in January, but I don't know exactly when. Does anyone know how you can tell when I started the document?

Answer 1

For Office 2003, Open the Document. then goto FILE and then select PROPERTIES, then click on the STATISTICS Tab.

CREATED is the time you first saved the document, and TOTAL EDITING TIME is the time you spent typing it.

Answer 2

Right click on the document. Select Properties from the menu. This will display all history of the document.
