Word documents store metadata inside of them, one field of which is the program used to create them. This shows you how to use pywin32 to access them: http://www.galalaly.me/index.php/2011/09/use-python-to-parse-microsoft-word-documents-using-pywin32-library/ This won't be a foolproof solution, unfortunately. A random examination of doc files shows that not all of them have the required field set. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
