Validate File is a Word Document

Don
I'm looking for a quick method via some .NET code to validate that .doc files
that I receive for processing are valid (or at least have some high
likelyhood of being valid) Word documents. I've got a method to determine if
PDF and TIFF files that I receive are likely good files by looking at the
first few bytes of each of those file types. Is there an equivalent type
check for Office files, especially Word documents. I'd like to avoid loading
the Word object model but anything will do that is quick and unlikely to
crash. We are having problems in our application with users creating PDF
files and renaming to .TIF file extendion so we need to validate all files on
receipt.

Thanks, Don ...
