“Ensuring a Blinded Review” - the steps don’t include instructions for Microsoft 2013 word. Anybody have them?
Thank you in advance - Nick

Hi @ncrofut,
The instructions are indeed regrettably not included. I’ll make a note of that.
Would this help?

Kind of, except they are adding information - we need to delete metadata in the word document

Wouldn’t that metadata be in the same spot? But instead of adding, you would delete? (I don’t have Word 2013, so, sorry bear with me :slight_smile: )

Or are you looking for the write-up of the instructions, while you yourself do know how it would work?

here it is if anybody needs it, not much different then 2010 - the only difference are the first couple steps

  1. Under the File Menu select “Check for Issues” then “Inspect Document”
  2. Click “No” to save a file
  3. Click “Inspect” 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. Click “Remove All”, 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.
  7. Save the article on your computer then re-upload the article in AEJ.
