Certainly within the last few years, Word was known for putting the
contents of undo buffers or previous cut operations in the .DOC file.
I know I used this trick to sometimes see the previous edits of,
say, a contract or letter that someone had sent to me in Word form. :-)

These days, if you hope to find strings in Windows-related files,
you really need a 'strings' that handles Unicode. I think I saw
one in the last year or two.
