The draft of your report–written in Microsoft Word–changes hands for several days as various participants insert notes questions and maybe even a few impolitic gripes. You clean up the document before submitting it to the board but the comment “Do they really expect people to buy this crap?” (along with the name of the person who added it and the time and date of its creation) hasn’t vanished–it’s simply hiding. Among the types of metadata that spreadsheets Word documents and PowerPoint presentations may retain in hidden (but readily discoverable) form are the name and initials of anyone who has ever written or edited the document; template data; document revisions; editing comments; the name of your computer the company whose name appears in the license information for your copy of Microsoft ffice and the name of the hard drive or server where you saved the document. Embedded information such as file server names or user names–which often get recycled as log-in credentials–make data theft that much easier for a corporate spy. If you wouldn’t publish the details of your company’s internal network for the whole world to see why would you give away chunks of that information embedded in the documents you produce for the Web?

PowerPoint despite originally being one of many competing electronic presentation applications now has the market pretty much to itself so much so that terms such as ‘death by PowerPoint’ have entered the language of those who don’t appreciate long electronic slide presentations. The other unfairly minor member of the suite is Publisher relegated to the business versions and excluded from Home and Student and Standard editions. This is a great shame as Publisher is a versatile and well-appointed desktop publishing program. This writer uses it as his page layout application of choice and has produced everything from full-colour flyers and handbills to 80-page perfect-bound commercially-printed books.
