Word - What does "editing time" in properties actually measure?

[Guest]

In Microsoft Word - What does "editing time" in properties actually measure?

If I am looking at a student paper that is 6 pages long, and "editing time"
is 2 minutes, it looks like it was just copied over and the name changed with
no actual effort on the students part.

You will need more evidence than that to prove plagiarism. If you save a
document with a new filename the editing time is zeroed.

Hi Graham,

You will need more evidence than that to prove plagiarism. If you save a
document with a new filename the editing time is zeroed.

by the way, that doc-property is disabled in German (et al) versions,
as far as I recall. Can't check it now.
