Click the Office button and choose Prepare Properties to open the (IMHO
extremely ugly) Document Properties pane. In the upper left corner of the
pane, click the words "Document Properties" and click the "Advanced
Properties" item in the menu. That opens the traditional Properties dialog,
where you can find the editing time on the Statistics tab.

If you intend to use this often, add a button to the Quick Access Toolbar to
go directly to the dialog. Go to Office button Word Options Customize.
Set the category to Commands Not In the Ribbon, choose the Advanced Document
Properties item, and click the Add button.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who considers it extremely ugly (and
intrusive).

Hi S.,

To add one bit to the previous replies. The 'editing time' reflects how long the document was open on the desktop and has focus as
the primary document. It doesn't do any tracking of actual 'editing/typing activity.
