One of our departments has an issue when they receive a Word 2003 file with
Track Changes from their client and the client has the option selected:
"Tools/Options/Security/Remove Personal Information......".
--Is there a way to automatically detect that this setting is selected prior
to opening the file?
__Is there a way to automatically deselect/detect this option prior to

Hello Rebecca

One of our departments has an issue when they receive a Word 2003 file with
Track Changes from their client and the client has the option selected:
"Tools/Options/Security/Remove Personal Information......".
--Is there a way to automatically detect that this setting is selected prior
to opening the file?
__Is there a way to automatically deselect/detect this option prior to
opening the file?
__is there a way that Windows can search this option prior to opening the
file?
__Is there VB code to accomplish this?
Any help is appreciated.

what exactly is the purpose?

If you want to make sure that the document, once opened on your system,
has the correct setting, this should be possible with an AutoOpen macro.
