rhdtool.exe

Does a tool for Word 2000 exist that can remove hidden data. The rhdtool.exe
seems to only work with Office 2003/XP.

No, there isn't any tool for previous versions. See

There is an RHD tool for XP, and another one for 2003. The one for
2003 does not work with XP installations--or, at least, it didn't
work with mine. This may or may not shed any light on how to deal
with version 2000....

See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=223790 "How to Minimize Metadata
in Microsoft Word Documents". It's not the same as the Remove Hidden
Data tool, but I think it's as close as you're going to get for Office
2000.
