One way writers can embarrass themselves

  • 아티클

Documentation typically goes through numerous passes, between writers and technical experts and editors and peer reviewers. And those passes can accumulate a lot of revision marks and comments. All part of the work process. But let's suppose your product team is working with a partner who needs an advance look at content in progress...

You're probably wondering what I forgot to delete when I sent it out, and I'm not going to incriminate myself. However, I am going to let you know about a great tool I found through the Useful Technology Blog that will clean up your Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files. The applications themselves have this functionality, of course, but you can run this tool from the command-line to clean up multiple files at once - big plus there!

The tool is the Office 2003/XP Add-in: Remove Hidden Data. Don't forget to save a copy of the file with all that hidden data in case you need it again later!

    As a Microsoft Consultant I'm always amazed how many "goodies" you guys have available -- but people don't know about. Here's a compilation of all of your free Office software.
