DONT WANT .DOC ORIGINAL PROPERTIES!!!

I am aware of the article on how to Minimize Metadata on documents 290945, but wouldn't you be removing all the Metadata if you simply cut and pasted the text into a new blank document

I want all previous metadata to be lost, information like like author, created on/by, edited on/by, accessed on/by, and any other information regarding who, what, when, where, and how. In other words, I don't want this document to reveal any previous/historical information like the original author, versions, edits, dates of any sort, and/or revisions. Will copying the text out of a document and pasting it into another achieve this? I don't mind formatting carrying over, but the document properties or as they are referred to as metadata is what I don't want to carry over to the new pasted to document.

How many times are you going to post this? Have you tried the copy/paste
method? What was the result?

I'm going to post it as many times and as many places as it takes it takes to get heard. Not that you're garunteed anything by posting, it's out of people's good will that I get help. But I posted yesterday and by today had still heard nothing. It's urgent for me to find this out ASAP. Yes, I've tried the copy/paste method and have looked everywhere I know to look to see if prior metadata carries over. I was not able to find any information that carried over. I post information here to confirm my findings and to find out if I am missing something, or if someone else knows something I don't know or may have missed
