That's one I found the hard way since it's titled "Remove personal
information from file properties on save" in Word 2003 during the
beta. I thought it would remove file properties only - not all
Authors!

Oh well, at least I learned something I could pass on to someone else.

Hi Beth,

Oops, didn't know *that*. Thanks!
I thought the tracked changes would be removed altogether...

Regards,
Klaus

Klaus, Beth

I knew about Klaus's way, but I hadn't tested it enough to feel comfortable
about recommending it.

And I'd forgotten about Beth's way, but I'll now add it to my web page about
track changes.
