how to obtain PPT version number in PPT file?

[Guest]

Hi everyone
I have 200 PPT files and I need to know the version of PowerPoint that is
used to create them.
I am running PowerPoint 2003 on my machine. How can I get such information
programatically?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Not possible, unfortunately.

You can test for newer features to narrow things down a bit, though.
For example, if the presentation has multiple masters, you know at least that
it was edited, if not created, in PPT2002 or later.
