Re: How to detect 2007 vs. 2003 documents?

Hi darrel,

So, we now have docx files littered throughout our site with .doc
extensions.

Is there anyway to tell these files apart from actual 2003 .doc files?

Mine all start with hex 50 4b 03 04
I guess is it a zip header. So you might want to write an app which
finds all *.doc and check the first 4 bytes to rename those to docx
which show the above pattern.
