Default Problem with Remove Hidden Data Tool

I downloaded and installed this utility without apparent difficulty. I can
see the "Remove Hidden Data" entry in the File Menu when I open a new, blank
document.

The problem is that I cannot see the "Remove Hidden Data" entry in the File
menu when I open a previously created document that I would like to cleanse.

While the previously created document is open I can see that 'rhd.dot' is
checked in the Tools|Templates and Add-ins|Templates dialog box. Also,
"Trust all installed add-ins and templates" is checked in
Tools|Options|MacroSecurity|MacroSecurity|Trusted Publishers

Why does "Remove Hidden Data" not appear in the File Menu when I open an
older file? When can I do to fix this?

Hi Owen,

This does seem odd; I'd expect something like this if the menu point had once
been removed in the current document context, but I doubt this could be the
case... You might want to try asking in the office.setup newsgroup.

For my part, the first thing I'd try would be going to Tools/Customize. Can you
see the command in the File menu, now? If yes,
- create a new toolbar
- hold down CTRL and drag (copy) the command to the new toolbar. Perhaps
that will available in existing documents.

Cindy - Thanks for the reply.

No, when I go to Tools|Customize I cannot see the Remove Hidden Data command
in the File menu that is displayed.

I found that I had to recreate the templates that would not display the
Remove Hidden Data command in the File menu, using the blank document
template (in which I could see the menu item) and copying over the styles
from the old template.
