| Most lawyers would not knowingly disclose confidential information about their clients to other parties, yet many law firms unknowingly do this every time they send a Microsoft Word or Corel WordPerfect document via email. Most computer files contain “metadata” and in today’s world of document collaboration, email, and remote access, every lawyer should know something about it and have a tool to protect against accidental transmittal of metadata.
Used by more than two million people worldwide, the Metadata Assistant is the leading metadata removal tool available on the market today.
Metadata Assistant analyzes Word/Excel/PowerPoint (2000 and higher) files to determine the type and amount of metadata (hidden information) that exists within. You can use a variety of options to remove unwanted metadata from your documents, workbooks and presentations. The retail version can operate as a standalone utility or can run from within Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook 2000 and above. You can analyze and clean the active (open) file in any of those applications or you can designate a specific closed file. You can even use the Metadata Assistant to batch process multiple files located on a local or network folder. Additionally, you can analyze/clean files attached to outbound e-mail messages and convert them to PDF format for extra protection.
