Default time spent editing?

It's still in Properties, on the Statistics tab ("Total editing time"). The
trick is to actually access that dialog. Ultimately, your best bet is to go
to Office Button | Word Options | Customize Quick Access Tool Bar, select
"Commands Not in the Ribbon," look for "Advanced Document Properties," and
add it to the QAT.

Until you do that, however, if you have the Developer tab displayed, you can
open the Document Panel (bypassing the useless intervening dialog by
clicking OK without filling any boxes) and then click on the useless
Document Properties arrow, which gives you a menu of (only) "Advanced
Properties." This opens the familiar dialog.

Long ago, there was discussion of a notation somewhere in a Word
document file that tells you how long (cumulatively) a document has
been open. It wouldn't be useful for billing, because it doesn't tell
you how long you actually worked on a file, but it could give a
general idea of time spent if you remember to close it after each
session.

I can't find such a thing under "Properties," nor anywhere else one
might plausibly look.

Word2007, but a Compatibility Mode .doc.

Is that reckoning available somewhere?
