投稿注意：在Word去除你的個人訊息

在投稿時，大家都知道在文章裡面，不要有任何個人訊息，但有一點可能沒注意到的：你應該在Word裡，把你的個人訊息也去除。

有些好的投稿平台，在投稿後會自動產生pdf檔，reviewers就會依照這PDF檔來讀，這樣就不會有個人訊息留在Word檔案的問題。但有些平台是用Word提交的，提交之後也不會自動產生PDF檔，而是把Word檔直接給reviewers。在這種情況下，把自己的個人訊息移除，就變成很重要了！

Australasian Journal of Educational Technology 提供了很清楚的說明：

For Microsoft 2003 and previous versions, and Macintosh versions of Word:

• Under the File menu select: Save As > Tools (or Options with a Mac) > Security > Remove personal information from file properties on save > Save.

For MacIntosh Word 2008 (and future versions)

1. Under the File menu select “Properties.”
2. Under the Summary tab remove all of the identifying information from all of the fields.
3. Save the File.

For Microsoft 2007 (Windows):

1. Click on the office button in the upper-left hand corner of the office application
2. Select “Prepare” from the menu options.
3. Select “Properties” for the “Prepare” menu options.
4. Delete all of the information in the document property fields that appear under the main menu options.
5. Save the document and close the document property field section.

For Microsoft 2010 (Windows):

1. Under the File menu select “Prepare for sharing.”
2. Click on the “Check for issues” icon.
3. click on “inspect document” icon.
4. Uncheck all of the checkboxes except “Document Properties and Personal information”.
5. Run the document inspector, which will then do a search of the document properties and indicated if any document property fields contain any information.
6. If the document inspector finds that some of the document properties contain information it will notify you and give you the option to “Remove all,” which you will click to remove the document properties and personal information from the document.

如果是用Mac與Word 2008以後的版本，可以參考下方的圖片教學：

首先，到Word, 選File下面的properties

之後就是把author的部分去掉就好了。

不過這種方法，不夠徹底。

比較好的作法，應該是用proect document，這樣會把各種metadata都刪掉。
