Default How to check whether a word document is empty?

Hi,
I am trying to filter out the empty word documents of different versions
which include Word 95 document too. Is there an API which can do this without
actually opening the word document?

I have tried to get this work done using the combination of "checksum" &
"size" of the documents. I have got the list of mappings of "checksum" &
"size" for all empty word documents from a sample of 1000 documents including
95 documents too. Do you have any idea upto what % this way will give me the
correct result?

Your suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
Vinay
