         The GUID that used to be assigned to MS Word documents was removed
    with Office 2000.  Also Office 97 could have a patch applied that would
    stop assigning the GUID as well.

    Heard that too... never looked for it though.
    What you do have are the "author" and "organization" meta-data tags.
    They
    will initialize to the username and company defined during the
    installation
    (double check this, not quite sure about the username... think its the
    logged in user actually)
    While not forensically sound they can help you out.
    
    Sincerely,
    Mat.
