Use Word’s Document Inspector to remove potentially sensitive metadata, such as author names and comments, to protect your information when sharing documents.

– Go to File > Info > Check for Issues > Inspect Document.
– Select the types of metadata to inspect and remove.
– Run the inspection and review the results.
– Remove the metadata as needed.

This helps ensure your document doesn’t inadvertently expose sensitive information.
