Re: Data hidden in Word documents

["Simson L. Garfinkel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>]

Microsoft Word has a feature called "fast saves"
If you have the option "allow fast saves" checked, then Word writes the 
original file and deltas until the file reaches a certain size. In this 
case, undo information is saved.

If you uncheck the option "allow fast saves," so that fast saves are 
not allowed, then undo information is not saved.
