Default Changing identity on Word documents

I need to write some letters for someone else as if the letters are
written only by the other person. I use my PC and will email the other
person a Word DOC file to use on their PC. We both use Word 2003 on
WinXP.

----

However I do not want the DOC file I send to show that I have been
involved in any way at all.

(a) I do not want data in File Properties.

(b) I do not want to have my default margins, font, etc.

(c) I don't want the document file to have other data which has from
elsewhere on my PC (perhaps temp data).

----

Until now I have been sending them unformatted text but this means the
other person has to paste it into Word and then lay it all out and put
in all the formatting for empahsis.

Can I achieve what I want by swapping some Word configuration files? I
have heard about NORMAL.DOT but I don't know if it does all I want.
