I guess it works only for the "standard" encryption (the only available in the older versions of MS Office). The key for this encryption was (because of US export restrictions) limited to 40bits.
So, I think they generated the table (of something) for all the possible keys and use it for decryption (which consist of reading the proper value from the table, basically); should be doable with today's hard drive sizes.
