Hi John,
there is msword8 object modle available. What u can do is use that modle. Create an Application object that returns the Documents object. From that open single Doument. that document will return u the author and all other details u want.

m_ptheApplication = new _Application();
// Attach a Dispatch object with the above created application.
m_ptheApplication->CreateDispatch("Word.Application");
// Get the documents from the currently activated application.
m_theDocuments  = m_ptheApplication->GetDocuments();
m_theDoc = m_theDocuments.Open(vFileName,.....);

m_theDoc.GetCreator(); etc etc...

I guess this will surely help u.
Thanks and Regards,
