Here's a spiffy tip for those who have Microsoft Office files lying around. Whether or not you have 'Office' installed, you may need to see details about certain documents. Right-click on an Office-created file and pull up its properties; you should see a range of helpful tabs sitting there. The context menu for Word documents will show you the author, his/her comments, the table of contents, and how many pages, paragraphs, lines, words, characters are in it! Excel worksheets will show virtually the same information, including the number of tabs (and their respective labels). There's more than meets the eye to some of those suckers.
