    Hidden Data in Microsoft Word (and other program)

    PC Magazine summed up Metadata best when they said, "If you plan on sharing or publishing your Office document, you may be sharing more than you intend." Since sharing documents is an integral part of the practice of law today, metadata awareness and removal should be an integral part of your firm's overall security policy.

    Donna Payne, Payne Consulting Group, writes... "Microsoft Word (and Excel and PowerPoint) documents contain 'hidden' information known as metadata. Some types of metadata are benign and useful while other types can provide others who view or work on your documents with information you may not want them to know."

    So what can I do to avoid sending other people documents that contain metadata? Use a third- party tool such as Payne's Metadata Assistant that integrates with e-mail and document management software. This can help to reduce the risk of accidental exposure.


    Quickly enter sample text in a Word document

    Have you ever needed to fill a page (or document) with sample text - for example, to demonstrate a feature in Word or to work with page layout and design?

    There is a very easy way to do this in a Word document.

    Type =rand(4,5) and then press ENTER.

    The first number in the parentheses is the number of paragraphs (4) and the second number is the number of sentences per paragraph (5). You can modify the numbers in the parentheses to allow for more or less text on the page. Or if you want one long paragraph, just type one number in the parentheses, which will designate the number of sentences that should appear in one paragraph.
