e-mail receiver using some kind of software that allows
undo command on sent .doc or exel files to then discover
confidential info i.e. getting cost column (deleted from
price list version sent) on quoted price lists only
intended to show selling prices. How is this done and how
to protect from happening in future?

Word and Excel files lack significant meaningful security. If you don't want
someone to see any confidential info in them, copy & paste the 'public' bits
into a new file and send only that.

Cheers
