Microsoft Office 2010 Document Inspector

The Document Inspector feature of Office lets you check your document for hidden properties and personal information. As the co-authoring feature of Office 2010 is quite famous and many users work on the same document at the same time, it is a good idea to use the Document Inspector before you share an electronic copy of your Office document, such as in an e-mail attachment.

It is recommended that you create a copy of your office document before applying the Document Inspector on it. Open the document upon which you wish to apply the inspection, hit the Office(File Menu) button, and click  Info from the left sidebar.

  1. I found another one, “Save preview picture with this document” … on Office Mac it’s under File > Properties > Summary. Unchecking it turned my doc from 160k to 25k.
