Does a tool for Word 2000 exist that can remove hidden data. The rhdtool.exe
seems to only work with Office 2003/XP.

No, there isn't any tool for previous versions. See

There is an RHD tool for XP, and another one for 2003. The one for
2003 does not work with XP installations--or, at least, it didn't
work with mine. This may or may not shed any light on how to deal
with version 2000....

Remove spaces, and substitute digits for the words between " ' "

See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=223790 "How to Minimize Metadata
in Microsoft Word Documents". It's not the same as the Remove Hidden
Data tool, but I think it's as close as you're going to get for Office
2000.

Has anyone tried using this tool with Word 2002? I've tried installing it on
this on systems running Windows 2000 and XP, but I'm getting a failed install
message when I open Word. It tells me to re-install, but I always get the
same message.
