In a recent Fat Friday newsletter, Daniel Markham pointed readers to a free Microsoft utility that removes metadata from Word documents. TechnoLawyer member Roger Boyell has since tried it, writing "I downloaded the M$ metadata removal tool and found that it corrupted several of M$ Word's features, particularly the page numbering. Recall the law of unintended consequences." TechnoLawyer member Larry Vollintine had a different take, writing "I just tried the free download Meta data remover program from Microsoft on a large lease and it seems to work. Thanks for the suggestion."
