Invisible TAG

[Aristeu Gil Alves Junior]

I want to eletronic track information on my company.

Is there a way to put an invisible tag on the middle of a MS word text
that may (while on word or richtext format) stay in copy-paste and
save-as actions?

If yes, can this tag work to other MS products like ppt, xls, outlook
and outoolk express, specially during copy-paste?

Thanks

You mean something like the "Hidden text" feature in Word?

Is somthing like that. I want to put hidden text between words on a
paragraph, and when a person uses the same text in other document, it
could be tracked where it came from.

I´ve tryed doc variable feature (DOCVARIABLE q1w2e3r4t5y6u7ui8 \*
MERGEFORMAT), and its done by inserting a field and choosing the type
DocVariable. This worked in some cases. It was passed to others word
documents while saving and copy-pasting, but seems that I can´t pass
this hidden information on outlook and others office applications.

How can I do this hidden text you are sayind?

Thanks and regards,

As far as I know you can't "export" that to non-Word programs. From a
purely logical point of view, you would only catch the stupid
plagiarists, as the clever ones will cover their tracks, giving you a
false sense of security.

OK. If you dont know or don't wanna try, just give it up.

This is not being questioned, but since you brought it up, I think as
this will not be divulgated, maybe it could catch 99% of word users...
me and you included. Its easy to remove once you know its there.
Being aware of a honeytoken is always the hard part.

So if there's a way to make apps re-use this kind of tag, its a good
thing. I'll keep working on it any way.
