Accessing Word Document's Properties values.

Is there a way to access the properties of the actual word doc that is stored in Alfresco. I'm using the "Extract common metadata fields from content" Trigger to pull out simple values but I would like to be able to insert information into the Custom list so that when a document is returned to the repository I can insert then read information like nodeRef and I will know exactly what file to update no matter what the file name has been changed to.

So to clarify, I don't want to access the nodes properties information (I already know how to do that) but I want to access the word files properties information.

I think you would need to do it in Java.
You could probably extract the properties using POI (http://poi.apache.org/hpsf/how-to.html)
