Ed-Tech list members,
There is an interesting article in the Chronicle of Higher Education describing how some authors of journal papers are able to see who reviewed their papers, if the review comments were written in Word, personalizing information was not removed from the file, and the file was sent as-is to the author.
The article references an information page on how to remove personalizing information from Mac Office 2004. I would expect it to be the same or very similar in the versions of Office on Windows machines.
Back in June 2005 I sent a message to this list about the Track Changes problem that you may run into when distributing Word documents.
Track Changes shows differences in the document. Personal Information shows who created the document. I think these are two separate problems that you should be award of, when sending a document to someone.
