Documents contain a lot of hidden but potentially sensitive information called metadata. It can be embarrassing if documents are not sanitised before being released to third parties. The solution is data scrubbing. Microsoft offers a tool called "Remove Hidden Data" but it only works with Microsoft Office XP/2003. This is a problem for parties still using earlier versions like Office 2000. Alternatively, you can use a free utility called "Doc Scrubber".
