checking appversion and application name in ooxml of MS-Office

Question

Hi, I just came up with a situation where I need to know the possible values for appVersion and application name (in app.xml). As I think there is a bug in excel 2013 in windows 8 because when I create a new Excel document by right clicking and selecting the excel document the appVersion (in app.xml) came out to be "14.0300" but when I open this excel document and again saving it the appVersion (in app.xml) changes to "15.0300".

I need to know the possible values for the documents created in different environments.

e.g.

1- if I create a document in office 2013 in windows what are possible values for appVersion and application name

2- if I create a document in office 2011 in mac what are possible values for appVersion and application name

3- if I create a document in office 2016 preview in windows what are possible values for appVersion and application name

4- if I create a document in new office preview of mac what are possible values for appVersion and application name.

Also I need to know if appVersion is dependent on system type (i.e. 32 bit OS or 64 bit OS) in windows and mac .

Please help.
