This fact has been exploited several times over the last few months to embarrass government officials and Microsoft itself, who have published documents in Word format which then have been revealed to have been significantly revised or redacted in very revealing ways.From: zippy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
There was an interesting little blurb in Business Week's April 19 edition,
page 26, regarding the vulnerability of messages sent using the MS Word
format . Apparently the problem stems from the "track changes" feature.
Someone who is knowledgeable can make use of this feature to find out
everything that was done to the document from the get-go, including to
whom it was sent along the way. The only way to avoid leaving a trail that
can be traced to delete every change made, leaving only the final document.
Also, this vulnerability evidently applies to Macs as well as PC's from the
way the article is written.

In 1960, Republicans insinuated that a Catholic, Democratic candidate with the initials JFK was unfit for the Presidency because he would do the Pope's bidding as President.
In 2004, Republicans are insinuating that a Catholic, Democratic candidate with the initials JFK is unfit for the Presidency because he won't do the Pope's bidding as President.
