Metadata myths
Published September 3, 2004 by Ed Bott
Stephanie Krieger has an excellent debunking of some myths about the “hidden” parts of files created by Microsoft Office applications: The Whole Truth About Metadata in Office Documents:
Some producers of add-in applications referred to as metadata scrubbers would have you believe that there is a grand conspiracy brewing within your very own documents that only they can solve for you.

The whole article is worth reading. Also, if you use Office, be sure to check out Stephanie’s new blog, Arouet dot net.
