Eliminating personal information from Word docs

S

I would like to upload a sample document and put a link here. Before I
do, I'd like to eliminate all personal information fro the document.

I went to File | Prepare | Properties and cleared all of the fields.

From that panel, I clicked on Document Properties | Advanced
Properties... then checked each tab and cleared out any information.

Is there anything else I need to do?

I don't suppose there's a command somewhere to clear out all personal
information.

This is Word 2007.

The Document Inspector (Office Button | Prepare | Inspect Document) is
what's intended for this purpose, but I can't say I exactly understand it.
Earlier versions were easier, with Tools | Options | Security: "Remove
personal information from file properties on save."

Wow. That worked perfectly. (Well, I think it did.) Thanks.
