title: Obtain the "absolute path to the workbook" from an .xls file
body: <p>When I use the Excel "Document Inspector" on a particular .xls file to check for "hidden properties or personal information" it says:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The following document information was found:<br>
    * Absolute path to the workbook</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>How can I obtain the absolute path of the workbook from the file?  If it needs to be done programmatically, I could use Java (e.g. Apache POI) or VBA.</p>
  
  <p>I know where the file is currently saved, but what I want to extract is the absolute path to the workbook which is saved in the file I have.  This is so I can know where it was saved by the author.</p>
  
  <p>Here's what has happened to the file:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Someone authored it, saving it at some absolute filepath unknown to me</li>
  <li>They uploaded it to a website</li>
  <li>I downloaded it from the website</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Excel indicates that the document contains the absolute path from step 1.  I'm after this path, not the place I saved it at step 3 since I know that.</p>
