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.
