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?
