Keep Your Microsoft Office Data Private

Most computer users are not aware that files created from the Microsoft Office Suite [Word, Excel, and/or Powerpoint] may contain hidden information that you may want to keep private. Information that may be obtained include; author information, collaboration information, and any other hidden information.To battle this issue Microsoft released Remove Hidded Data an add-on for Microsoft Office that allows the user to remove any hidden information that the file may contain. After installing the add-on you will notice that a new option appears in the ‘File‘ menu. Click here to download the utility from Microsoft.

Note: I discourage users from using keywords in their names when posting comments, most of those are caught as spam and end up being deleted. It would be more productive and interactive if commentators use the name they go by rather than using an unrelated name. In the future I reserve the right to delete comments from users using a name other than their own.
