Legacy .doc/.xls Metadata Viewer
Reads the document properties from an older, pre-2007 Word (.doc) or Excel (.xls) file — a completely different container format from the modern .docx/.xlsx viewers elsewhere on this site.

When you'd use this
- Checking an old .doc or .xls file's author and creation date
- Reviewing metadata in a file that's too old for modern Office viewers
- Investigating a legacy document's properties during an archive review
These older formats store properties in a "Property Set" structure inside a Compound File Binary (OLE) container — the same container format used by .msg files and Windows’ Thumbs.db, though the property data itself is a distinct structure.
