Well, like all ole2 file formats there are some properties in the
"SummaryInformationStream", i.e.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372045.aspx

And also there is "dttmCreated" in the "Document Properties" area of
the .doc, which is specific to msword. search for "doc" on wotsit.org to
get the file format and then search the resulting documentation for
"dttmCreated".

The summary properties are the easiest to extract with either the
mswindows apis or libgsf for non-windows.
