Determining what version of Visio created a file

[Tekbench]

I've got Visio 2007. Client asked be to save a version of a drawing in Visio
2002 format. I did that. Before I email that to the client, I simply want
to verify it actually Saved-As a 2002 version. Properties doesn't show it,
nothing I can find shows what 'version' this particular document is. I
refuse to believe "It just automagically happens". Asking the client "Can
you open it now?" is not an option. I don't have an old version I can
install either.
Seems like a simple thing. I must be overlooking something.

If you've saved as 2002 format it will be ok, never had a problem with
it.

I appreciate the vote of confidence! However, I'm looking for empirical
evidence that it is a 2002 file. Client is frustrated, and frankly so am I.
Seems like the most basic of things to have in the 'Properties' box, but it's
not there. Client won't touch it unless "I know it's a Visio 2002 file".

Best I can think of is to do the Save As 2002, then open it in 2007,
now do a normal save, if it's in the old 2002 format you will be asked
if you want to keep to the old format or use the later format.

The only way to prove that is the proper format is to open it in Visio 2000
or Visio 2002. or possibly one of the older Visio Viewers.
