It seems to me, though, that an Office-specific stack might be useful. I consulted a StackExchange question ( ) which said that I should use the SuperUser stack for Microsoft Office related questions, but since this is an Office question that is specific only to the MacOS version, I decided it would be more appropriate here. Note, I wasn't 100% sure where to post this. A command-line application and Perl library for reading and writing EXIF, GPS, IPTC, XMP, makernotes and other meta information in image, audio and video. ‘Remove it all’ is the default, but you can be selective by clicking the second button, and using the window scroll, and remove just certain tags.

There does seem to be a way to purge metadata from a Microsoft Word file in MacOS ( Tools -> Protect Document -> Check "Remove personal information from this file on save"), but there doesn't seem to be any equivalent for Microsoft Excel.

In short, most approaches to removing metadata from Office files in Windows involve the use of the built-in Document Inspector, which doesn't seem to exist in the MacOS versions of Office apps. or It may work to simply set Word 2008 on the mac to remove personal information from this file on save under Preferences in the Word menu, Personal Settings. I have also found guides for removing metadata from Microsoft Word specifically on MacOS: Select Remove personally identifiable information from the file on save and Warn before printing, saving or sending a document that contains tracked changes or comments. I want to make sure that an Excel file I created is purged of all personal and user metadata before passing it on, for confidentiality reasons.įor Windows, there are many guides for removing personal metadata from most Office data files.
