Ways to View Who Last Opened a Word Document

1. Check the document properties: Right-click on the Word document and select "Properties". Then, go to the "Details" tab. Here, you may be able to see the "Last saved by" field, which will show you the username of the person who last saved the document. However, this will only work if the person actually made changes to the document and saved it.
   
2. Check the file's metadata: Word documents contain metadata that can include information about who created the document, who last modified it, and when it was last accessed. To view this information, you can use a tool like Microsoft's free "Office Configuration Analyzer Tool" (OffCAT). Once you've installed OffCAT, open it and select "File" "Open File". Then, select the Word document you want to analyze. OffCAT will then display a report that includes information about the document's metadata.
   
3. Check your server logs: If the Word document is stored on a server, you may be able to view server logs to see who accessed the file and when. This will depend on your server setup and logging configuration, so you may need to consult with your IT department to get access to these logs.
