    I first "uncovered" this myself about a month ago when I opened an HTML document that I wanted to edit, using Word (on my PC at work). It was the first time I had used Word to edit HTML, but I figured it was a try. As soon as I opened it up, the document contained my name and contact info as it appeared on the user license as well as other data - all in the meta info at the top of the page. From the point on, I have been trying to avoid using Word, because there is some info that I want to keep private.



    Microsoft is evil, I tell you - EVIL!!!



    HAHAHAHA

    Well blow me down, I thought this was a software thing. I never thought of checking in General Discussion first.
