protecting my privacy

[kaisha girl]

Can someone guide me as to how i can remove all personnal info from any WORD document? I made the mistake of sending something and next thing i know someone has a few infos i did not want to give out!

My version : WORDX

I'm a new MAC user so a bit lost.

Can't find any security options on WORD!?

http://wordprocessing.about.com/od/protectingyourprivacy/qt/removeinfo.htm this process doesn't work since i don't have the options in tools. HELP !!

Launch the program, then click on the App Name (say Word) and select preferences, then User Information. You can also hit CMD , (command and comma keys), then select User Information.

Office X uses an entry in your Entourage Address Book to store the info. There's a 'more' button in the bottom right of the preferences window that'll open that entry so you can edit it. Changing the info there should change it in all programs, but open them as described above (CMD , then select User Information) just to be sure.
