Clean up your Word Docs to send to Customers

April 6th, 2009

It is surprising how often that Word versions of White Papers and other marketing documents may have hidden information (that may range from everyone who worked on the document to all of the changes they have made) so it is always best to send the PDF versions to customers (not to mention they can’t edit PDF’s). There is a way to remove that tracking information from Word docs that you plan on sending out – go to Tools>Options>Security and select both “Warn before printing, saving or sending a file that contains tracking changes or comments” and “Remove personal information from this file on save”.

There is also a Microsoft addin for Office XP or 2003 that can strip even more personal data (just what you need, something else to slow down your machine).
