With Word document you can view heaps of hidden info which could be pretty embarrassing. As an example, go to http://hsc.house.gov/files/testimony%20gingrich.doc to download Gringrich's speach, open it in you Word, then click on File-->properties-->custom tab and view the info. Now close this document, go to File-->Open and in the File of Type box just below the "File name" box, scroll down to 'Recover Text of Any File (*.*)'. Now scroll down the document and view the "history" of this document...embarrassing? interesting!! > > > Still want to post a doc file on the Web?
