FYI, There is a document property in WORD that saves the TotalEditting Time.

I'm trying to track the time spent editing a word document in an excel
spreadsheet. The goal is to be able to total the time spent editing multiple
documents. I've inserted the field into Word (edit time: Word/insert
field/Date and Time/EditTime). I can hyperlink to the field in Excel, but
the excel field won't update when the edit time in word increases. Any
suggestions? Thanks.
