Microsoft Offers "Redacting" Tool For Word

Via TechWeb News.

Microsoft on Tuesday published a free add-on to Word 2003 that lets users black out sections of documents by removing confidential information prior to printing or e-mailing.

Dubbed the "Redaction Add-in," the 1MB download adds a new toolbar to Word 2003.

"Sensitive government documents, confidential legal documents, insurance contracts, and other sensitive documents are often redacted before being made available to the public," Microsoft said in the accompany notice.

Any text marked with the add-in is completely removed from the document and marked with black bars in both the on-screen and printed versions. A redacted version of the file can then be saved for printing and/or electronic distribution.

The add-in can be found on Microsoft's Download Center.
