MS Offers "Remove Hidden Data" tool for Office Users

[Dan Updegrove <updegrove () MAIL UTEXAS EDU>]

Colleagues,

This just hit my in-box, and I'm not likely to have time to test it anytime
soon, so I'm taking the liberty of passing it along to those of you
concerned with security.

If this is not as helpful as it appears to be, I apologize in advance.

Dan

Dave and my fellow IP'ers:

For those of you who may (like me) use MS Office, there's always the risk
that changed versions and users' comments may be buried in files you
distribute to others.  This can result not only in file bloat, but possible
embarrassment or legal complications.  Happily, MS just released a new free
add-in for Office XP/2003 that helps users clean out this hidden info.  You
can download it at:

Hope you find it useful. {Jonathan}
