    I would recommend you to save a copy of this file and open the file with Notepad, Make sure you uncheck the option to open this file type.
    
    You would be able to see some junk characters along with the custom properties.
    
    Search for version 2008,09 Etc.
    
    Hope this helps.
    
    Cheers !
    Raghu

        I could able to read the following:
        
        Version 2008- MO_Version = 3800
        2009-MO_Version=4100
        2010-MO_Version=4400
        2011-MO_Version =4700.
        
        I hope this helps.
        
        Cheers!

        I also could not find the same in the version 2006 or 2007 Files. I hope your file is one of that.

        Raghu,
        You should search like this "M O _ V E R S I O N " (a space between each letter)
