Yes.  For whatever it's worth, those first 4 characters have the hex 
values D0 CF 11 E0, which is a hex pseudo-representation of the word 
"DOCFILE".  This is the standard signature for a COM "structure storage 
document", which is the binary format used by all of the Microsoft 
Office programs prior to Office 2007.
