Doc Scrubber 1.1

When you write your dissertation or essay within Word, you may believe that your document is clean of information that may suggest that you’ve ask someone else to look over or even start your work. There are no comments, no incriminating names in the document nor any other references.

However, Word documents contain all sorts of meta data that is saved when you first create your document, when you make revisions and the history of the document when you pass it to other people to make comments. This meta information doesn’t appear within the document itself, but it isn’t difficult to find. Anyone who wants to reference the history of your document can find this information.

Doc Scrubber is a tool that enables you to scrub and cleanse some of this meta information. You can clear the history logs, revision notes, the original author information, the amount of editing time spent on the document and much more. Better still, if you’ve worked on more than one Word document, you can apply the same scrub effect to multiple documents.
