Can you tell the time and date when a Word document or Excel spreadsheet was actually opened?

Question

I know you can tell when a document was updated by hovering over the title but is there a way of finding out when it was first opened ?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

The above person is right...just right click on the file and you should be good.

Answer 2

Yes, if you open Windows Explorer and go to the folder containing the files.



Then go to VIEW menu, then pick Choose Details.

You can now select DATE ACCESSED as a column to show.

Answer 3

Easiest way is to right-click on the file, select "properties" and you'll see times and dates for "created", "modified" and "accessed". Sounds like "accessed" is the one you're looking for :)
