Your Microsoft Word document can give readers more information about you than you might think. Even Alastair Campbell has fallen foul of the snippets of invisible data few of us realise our documents contain.
Simple to solve, just cut and paste the entire document out of word and into a new word document. Then save.
This is such an old feature of word, quite a few companys have got in trouble when journalists reappear all the hidden changes in the documents. Rude things said about comeptitors. hidden meo's information removed from roadmaps or press releases.
Alternatively don't use microsoft word.
