Within Word 2010’s Trust Center’s Privacy Options is the Remove personal information from file

  • 0

Within Word 2010’s Trust Center’s Privacy Options is the Remove personal information from file properties on save check box. This is what it looks like:

enter image description here

Using Word VBA, I would like to be able to be able to detect for the enabled/disabled state of this setting and then, if enabled, disable it. However, I have not been able to find within the Word 2010 Object Model any way to directly access this setting.

I am able to remove personal information (equivalent to enabling the option) using this method:

ActiveDocument.RemoveDocumentInformation (wdRDIDocumentProperties)

Unfortunately, I cannot detect the Boolean value for the setting nor disable it with VBA.

Lastly, I also explored the BuiltInDocumentProperties property, but there was no access via the constants found in the Object Model.

Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

    activedocument.RemovePersonalInformation=true sets the word option to remove the information

    CurrentSetting=activedocument.RemovePersonalInformation to save the setting for later

    This was tested on word 2007.
