Metadata (hidden data) removal

[TheGarzman]

Is there a way to strip the metadata from Office files without owning or even
having a copy of Office on my PC? I can only seem to download the "Hidden
Data Removal Tool" if I actually have a copy of Office to use with Microsoft
Genuine Advantage. I will still be creating Office documents on the PCs at my
school with proper licenses, so that's why I want to know.

The Hidden Data Removal Utility is an add-in for the Office
applications so you need Office in order to utilize the utility.

As for stripping metadata, while you can do this without the utility
you still need Office in order to do it.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
