Office Ribbon Frustrations: Document Properties

Remember it used to be easy to look in the File menu and find the document properties of an Office document? This was an easy way to make sure you didn't post documents with personal information you didn't want shared.

In Office 2007 the feature still exists, it's just hidden like so many other things.

1. Click the round Office icon in the upper-left
2. Click Prepare
3. Click Properties

You will also find in this menu the Inspect Document feature, where you can do further analysis and clean up of a document, including the items found within the document properties.
