It's under File->Properties inside Word 2000. Yes, you can grep for it, but
if you want to see any output, you'll have to give -a to grep, because it
wants to treat it as binary...otherwise, it just says that it matches if a
match is found.

I tried this with grep under Cygwin only, so YMMV. It should be the same or
nearly the same as grep on Linux, though.
