Straight off the lifehacker presses, this great find is a win-win for the lawyers and anyone else working with sensitive data in MS Word!
“Free application Doc Scrubber analyzes Microsoft Word documents for hidden data, scrubs the document of any metadata you tell it to, and then creates a new clean file. We’ve highlighted a similar Microsoft Office add-on once before, but Doc Scrubber can scrub whole folders at a time and offers a lot more control over what it scrubs and how it does it.”
Go get DocScrubber!
I have a decent amount of lawyers and mortgage offices as clients. I'll have to tell them about this program.
Thank you!
This seems like a pretty cool application. Just curious, but what type of metadata does a Word document normally include within it?

See here for a thorough explanation:
Simply put, Word saves a ton of information as you are drafting a document…For example, say you wrote a contract that offered $1000, but you changed it to $500. The recipient of the document could possibly find out what you had originally typed.
