Jovo,

First you will have to use this clas in my opinion to get your first
selection.

Than you have with officeautomation to open the file to get the attribute
Author.

Did I write that, you dont have to open it only when you want to know the
author.
First you can use the fileinfo class in my opinion.

No! Eduardo A. Morcillo [MVP] has a sample on his website
(<URL:http://mvps.org/emorcillo/>):
