What Metadata Do Word Documents Contain?
DOCX files are complex ZIP archives containing multiple XML files with extensive tracking data. Beyond just the Author and Last Modifier names, they record your Company, Manager's name, the exact Application Name and Version used, your total editing time down to the minute, the exact number of times the document was saved (revision count), and the underlying template structure.
