It is not clear what you want to achieve. "MySecondCustomProperty" is an 
attribute value in your XML sample. Do you want an XPath expression 
evaluating to that attribute value?
I suspect you want to select the "property" element having a "name" 
attribute with value "MySecondCustomProperty". One way to do that is
/*[local-name() = "Properties"]/*[local-name() = "property"][@name = 
"MySecondCustomProperty"]

Or you need to bind prefixes to namespace URIs and use those prefixes. I 
don't know how you do that with Word 2007 but assuming the prefix "cp" 
is bound to the namespace URI 
"http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/custom-properties" 
you can use
/cp:Properties/cp:property[@name = "MySecondCustomProperty"]
