--> DUMP THE HIDDEN DATA
--> DUMP THE HIDDEN DATA IN FILES CREATED IN OFFICE When you create a document in Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint, you might well include hidden information. For instance, if you turn on Track Changes, and have a series of people edit a document, the various changes could be viewed by the document's recipient.That can be a real problem. Suppose you are sending a proposal to buy an expensive item. If you started out with a high price, then lowered it sharply for negotiating purposes, you could easily tip the seller to what you're really willing to pay. And you might never know that the seller got that information from your document.
Microsoft has a tool that can be used to scrub documents. The Remove Hidden Data Add-in can be run with the completed document to, well, remove the hidden data. The RHD Add-in is free. Download it at:
