MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / June 2004Turn off metadata
Hello, Is there any way to turn off/disable the metadata feature in MS word? I know of different ways to scrub the metadata out, but did not know if it's possible to disable the functionality to begin with. Thanks! Hi Brenna, First, there is no one "metadata feature" in Word -- there are many features that put nonvisible data into a Word document. Some of them (tracked changes, comments, File > Versions) can be turned off, but others (author name, file location) cannot.
