Can one get a report from Word 2003 docs' "PropertIes?" SeldomSnows 12/9/2008 9:52:18 PM I'd like to rapidly extract the "Total editing time" property from a set of Word docs for time and billing purposes. Does anyone know of a product—or method—that will do that? Currently, to compile and tally editing time for many docs, one has to open each doc, get into File, PropertIes, Statistics and type the editing time in a separate doc. Slow. (Cannot even copy it, so Clipboard isn't applicable.) It would seem there should be a tool that would extract PropertIes info and put it into an Excel worksheet or a Word table, with each doc on a separate row and the properties as column heads. Got help?
