Yes it does. There have been many news stories broken when a reporter gets a
word doc PR release, hits undo and finds out some nugget of info. I have
received word docs, hit undo and found interesting things (just check
theregister.co.uk). Autosave, chenage tracking, just normal usage, etc can
all result in interesting data left in the document. My advice: cut and
paste to another doc, save and ship.
