Date Word Doc Originally Created

I have a MacBook Pro Late 2011. Version 10.13.6 I have Word for Mac 14.7.2 (170228). How do I find out when the document was originally created in Word. When I look in Finder there are 3 columns: Name, Kind, Date Last Opened. There is no date shown for when I wrote the original document. I usually put a date on the document itself, but I forgot to on this one and I need to know the date I wrote it.

Since my laptop is so old I haven't been able to find out from looking through Apple's Help Options.

Thank you for your time and help.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13

A Get Info should tell you. Highlight the file from the desktop and press Command+I.

As an example, I opened an old file from 2000, added a few text characters and saved it (Command+S). The modified date changed, but the OS still remembers the original creation date of May 24, 2000.
