To get the author of a word (2007+) document, you can use the OpenXml library and access the PackageProperties of the document.

public string GetAuthor(string documentPath)
{
    using (var document = WordprocessingDocument.Open(documentPath, false))
    {
        return document.PackageProperties.Creator;
    }
}
