Hello!
I work for a company which gives out a multitude of presentations.
People who view them may request a CD copy of the presentation. So
far, it's okay.
Well, one of our presentations contained content copied from an Excel
document. The Excel document contained a huge amount of data which is
confidential to the company and we did not desire for it to be
released. The CDs on which the PPT was burnt had already been given
out and some of our clients found that data.
This is something that couldv'e been avoided if we knew that
PowerPoint does these things.
Is there a way to edit the PowerPoint format and look for *hidden*
data (such as stuff copied from Excel, Word, etc.)?
It also turns out PPT saves the path in which it was created which is
also something we'd rather not have public.
Thanks for your help,
Yoni.
