Algorithm to determine legitimacy of a word doc.

J

jueb

Does anyone know how to determine if a document is a word document,
without relying on the extension? Prefereably in VB.NET.

Thanks.

look at OLE doc properties?
you can do that without opening the file.
Don't know about .net, I can barely use it in VBA...
