I thought I had read somewhere either on Microsoft.com or other tech help
sites that you can remove all the info stored in the Document Properties for
security reasons.  I have some Word documents that will be posted on a
website and I do not want this information available to casual browsers.  Is
this possible or was it a dream??

Thank you - I read the item you sent me to and this was way more information
than I know I had read before - helpful and informative though!! At one point
in the information it talked about going to the Tools - Options - Security
Tab.  I went there and saw a box I could check that said "Remove personal
info from file properties on save".  I think this is what I must have read
about in another article because what I vaguely remember reading did not
involve adding any "add-in".

So, I clicked this box.  I saved a document and I can still see info on the
Properties Tabs - is this normal since I created it?  Does this option work
only if someone else opens the document on their computer after I send it to
them?  Guess I need to do some testing.  Thanks!!
