What do your Office documents say about you?

|

Microsoft has released an update to the security tool to removed excess information from Office documents. Information on that is available here.

Office documentation information leakage can be embarrassing. Information that was part of a collaborative document development effort not meant for public consumption can be leaked if efforts are not taken to remove them. To be on the safe side save to RTF or PDF when posting documents to a customer. Within a company Word is quite necessary, but I'd recommend using this tool on anything of great importance. It would be very bad to give an electronic copy of a performance review to an employee and have it contain a prior revision with a snide comment between reviewers.
