From the Support Alert Newsletter:
Remove Hidden Data from Office Documents
Microsoft Word, Excel
and PowerPoint all retain recent changes to documents even
though these changes are no longer visible. Unfortunately, this

This presents a real security threat and potential legal
problems as well. Microsoft has released a free Office XP/2003
add-in that removes this hidden information. This is an
essential download for all Office XP/2003 users. Free, 280KB
