Apologies for this being so far off topic. I need a sense for how to
get a definitive and honest answer:
Background: I have had MS Word and MS Powerpoint files carry deleted
content long after the changes were made, accepted, etc. In fact,
I've been burned a few times and have a standard of exporting MS Word
to rtf and reimporting it if I want to absolutely make sure that
deleted is deleted.
I have a case in which there is a spreadsheet that has a couple of
columns of very private information. The office practice is to delete
these columns before distributing the spreadsheets. With my
experience with MS Word and PPT, I had a case of heartburn, thinking
that the content of those deleted columns might somehow be
recoverable. My question: is Excel as sloppy and insecure as Word and
PPT? Is there an authoritative source to get the question answered?
