How do I find and remove hidden data and personal information in my Office documents? Word 2010 or 2012 probably wouldn't have this issue. Inspector may not reveal it, but allow you to strip it out of the document anyways. It could be there was once a XML plugin installed when the document was made that your word 2007 isn't able to show because it doesn't have the plugin installed. Some DOCX might have things in it that a regular DOC can't handle it. XML data can be anything formatting information etc. Generally it's safe to do delete it as nothing of importance would be in the document, unless some one specifically hidden text. Kind of like stripping GPS information out of a picture taken by a phone. As a side note It's good to use because if you share documents to someone you want to strip your personal information. Click the “Custom” tab.To my understanding the inspector should find it all and you can remove whatever it finds. On the right side of the “Info” screen, click the “Properties” button and select “Advanced Properties” from the drop-down menu.Ī dialog box displays with the filename (without the file extension) as the title.
If not, click “Info” in the list of items on the left. On the backstage screen, make sure the “Info” screen is active. To create a custom property, click on the “File” tab while in an existing or new Word document.
NOTE: We used Word 2013 to illustrate this feature. You can change the value of the property in one place and it will propagate through your document. If you have phrases or words you use often throughout your document that may change between the first and final drafts, setting up some custom properties you can insert into your document can be useful. Some of these are displayed on the “Info” screen and you can change these properties, as well as create custom properties.Ĭustom properties can be created to store additional information about the document not available on the “Summary” tab of the “Advanced Properties” dialog box. Word also stores several additional advanced properties related to your documents. We recently showed you how to set the user information in Word.
