TO ASK A QUESTION: If you have a question or need help with Office, please feel free to use the 'Click to Contact' link at the bottom of this page. You'll get a form that you can use to email a question to me. (I had been getting a ton of spam when accepting direct emails, so only emails that use this form will get through to me.)
Please be sure to mention the version of Office you are using when you send your question.
I answer all e-mails that I receive via this form, as long as they are polite :)
Since disabling comments on this site, I'm actually hearing from more of you with questions ... so, as it seems people prefer to email rather than comment, I'm going to leave comments disabled. As always, you can ask me any Office-related questions you have. If the question is outside of my expertise, I'll try to direct you to where you can get an answer.
Redaction ... Cool New Word Tool!
Happy Thursday, all! Just a quick note here to mention a new free Word 2003 add-in from Microsoft. If you haven't seen it yet ,it's a divinely simple tool to redact sensitive information from documents.
I had the privilege of helping to test this tool during its development and can tell you that the developers behind this took great pains to make sure that this tool is effective and practical for real-world use.
It's ideal for when you need to remove confidential content from a document without disrupting the original formatting of the overall document.
I could say a lot more about it ... but I'd prefer to hear what you think once you've tried it -- it's a fun little tool. Click here to go to the download page.
Quick formatting note: The tool uses the text shading feature to mark text for redaction. Keep this in mind when redacting documents so that, if you use text shading, you don't use the same shade as the tool (25% gray, if I recall correctly) - so that you don't get any unintended redaction.
