Yes, believe it or not, from Microsoft:
"Overview:
With this add-in you can permanently remove hidden and collaboration
data, such as change tracking and comments, from Word 2003/XP, Excel
2003/XP, and PowerPoint 2003/XP files.
When you distribute an Office document electronically, the document might
contain information that you do not want to share publicly, such as
information you’ve designated as “hidden” or information that allows you
to collaborate on writing and editing the document with others.
The Remove Hidden Data add-in is a tool that you can use to remove
personal or hidden data that might not be immediately apparent when you
view the document in your Microsoft Office application.
You can run the Remove Hidden Data add-in on individual files from within
your Office XP or Office 2003 application. Or, you can run Remove Hidden
Data on multiple files at once from the command line. In either case, to
run the tool you must have the application installed in which the
document was created.
The Offrhdreadme.htm file included with the add-in includes a complete
list of all of the types of data that the tool will help to remove. By
default, you can locate this file in the \Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Remove Hidden Data Tool\1033 directory in the drive where you
installed the tool. If you installed the tool to a different directory,
you can locate this file in the \1033 directory, a subdirectory of the
add-in installation folder. "
System Requirements
Supported Operating Systems: Windows 2000 Service Pack 4, Windows XP
Service Pack 1
Note: The Remove Hidden Data add-in has not been tested on Microsoft
Windows 2000. Also, the add-in cannot be installed on Windows 98 or
Windows Millennium Edition.
This download works with the following Office applications:
Microsoft Office Excel 2003
Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003
Microsoft Office Word 2003
Microsoft Excel 2002
Microsoft PowerPoint 2002
Microsoft Word 2002

Watch the wrap.
