[python-win32] NTFS/MS Word file metadata - no PIDSI for Category?

Hola,

I'm trying to pull extended file properties from NTFS or MSWord files.
List archives point to snippets from Mark Hammond and Roger Upole, and I
can get to most of the metadata.  However I'm having trouble getting to the
'Category' information.  It seems in the NTFS metadata that item is flagged
with a PIDSI_TITLE constant, at least that's what I get with my code
(hacked from testStorage.py).  If there is no 'Title' info and just
Category info, the category info gets read as title.,

 And in MSWord metadata I can't pull that info at all using Mark Hammond's
DumpStorage snippet.  I get everything else but not the 'Category' data.

Anyone have advice on a method to definitively retrieve the category info?

Regards,
Earle
