Remove Personal Information From Excel 2007

April 18, 2009 by Mark 1 Comment

Sometimes, it’s useful to be able to remove personal information from your workbook, in the event that you’re sending the file to someone else, whether it’s someone from another company, posting it to a forum, or sending it via email.

Excel will, by default, save information such as the author, file title, comments, etc. This information, could be potentially damaging if it was put in the wrong hands.

Luckily, Excel 2007 makes it easy to remove this information. Click the Office Button | Prepare | Inspect Document. Check all the options on the menu that appears, and click Inspect. Excel will then check each category to see if there is any document information that can be removed and will show a Remove All button next to each that has any information. Click the button, and the information is removed.
