First off, let me say "amen" to Mike Schwartz's 2c about Linux users
generally being kind and helpful to newbies.  PLUG is an outstanding
example of that.  :-)

OK:  I remember someone out there being involved in computer
forensics.  I have to train a bunch of office people on the risks
inherent in sending out Word, Excel, and other MS-Office docs, which
contain metadata (deleted words and values, etc.),  The recipient,
with a little work, can find out what the price was before you made
that final change, or who the customer was before you searched and
replaced with their name.

If anyone out there can share, and if it's not too OT, please give me
tips on open-source tools one can use to explore / remove metadata
from docs.  And yes, I prefer the OO suite, but these are lawers and
law offices, and Word reigns supreme there (and WordPerfect!).

I'm Googling, and doing what I can, but I'm looking for the voice of
experience, if it is out there.

Thanks --

Craig
