In Word 2000, how can I remove (automatically?) file properties?

[Guest]

For confidentiality reasons, I want to be able to remove some (or all) of the
information contained in File Properties. Is there a way of doing this,
please.

In Word 2003, there's a specific Security Option for this ("Remove personal
information from file properties on save"). And I believe the Remove Hidden
Data tool works only for Word 2002 and 2003 (see
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...ED-D43E-42CA-BC7B-5446D34E5360&displaylang=en).
So I guess you're reduced to doing this manually or with a macro; see “HOW
