Not really since they all use the same file format - with the
exception of Word 2007 which uses a .docx or .docm file extension
although documents created in Word 2007 can be saved in the Word 97 -
2003 file format.
You might be able to determine some information by opening the
document in Word 2003 and going to Tools/Options/Compatibility and
take a look at the recommended options. If you see Word 2002 then
there's a good chance it was created in Word 2002.
Note this is method isn't absolute. Changing the compatibility options
isn't that uncommon since they control various behaviors in Word.
Also, if a template created in an older version was used in a later
version of Word, or if the compatibility option in the template were
changed, then the Compatibility Options will reflect those used in the
template.
Perhaps if we knew more about why you want to know which version was
used then we might be able to help you more.
