Please remove my info
Hello,
Recently one my students informed me that they were able to read a cover
letter from a job application.
That has personal information and I would like to kindly ask that you
please remove this.
Thank you,
Dr.Elgammal

No: the discussion of hidden personal information was understandable
but was a red herring. For what it's worth, the sensitive data was
visible in the document.

Based on what I gleamed, the author published it not knowing the
personal information was also published as meta tags. After student
called the display of personal information to the attention of the
author, author would like the document removed. A little glitch is the
emails are not the same.

No she didn't. Or at least this is what she said in the email with which
she replied (only to me) to my previous one in this thread.

just out of curiosity, did YOU put it yourself on the openoffice website?
Because in another message here a moderator pointed out that that document
"appears to have been uploaded on August 27th, 2013 by user account
"Drtammie".

Hello Renee,
I meant that when you Google my name, tammie elgammal, there is a
document that I wrote in open office. My student told me my infor such as
my address and phone number are there and that's information I don't want
anyone reading nor seeing.
Please see if this can be fixed.
Thank you,

Andrea, I am so pleased you investigated. If I were the one who
uploaded it and someone with a different email address wanted my
document removed, I would be a bit upset it it was removed without
contacting me.
This situation provided a lesson for those who do or did not know about
meta tags (common for web pages) inserted in Adobe / MS / WP / Corel /
OO products, etal with information (as you pointed out ) about the
document's owner / creator.

a more exact wording, more coherent with what Tammie says now, would be:
somebody who in august 2013 had access to that email address created the
account just to put that file online. Not necessarily the legitimate owner
of that email address.

You would have missed all the fun (so to speak; of course we take things
like this very, very seriously). Some investigation was needed in this
case before we destroyed traces of what had happened and, as you will
see, it was quite fruitful.
File "Cover lettertammieelgammal.odt" had been created by user Drtammie.
User Drtammie corresponds to the e-mail address tammieelgammal AT
gmail.com (the same that sent the removal request today; better, the
same that answered this thread later today).
So: tammieelgammal AT gmail.com, whoever he/she is, created the Drtammie
account on our wiki on 27 August 2013; 15 minutes after creating the
account, he/she uploaded the file "Cover lettertammieelgammal.odt"; no
other activity is registered for that user. And today the same e-mail
address requested removal of that file.
File has now been removed. We had no pages linking to it or using it.
User has been blocked for an indefinite period. tammieelgammal AT
gmail.com, if you still need editing privileges for the OpenOffice wiki
you can send a motivated request to private AT openoffice.apache.org and
put in CC infrastructure AT apache.org ; remember that an account on
wiki.openoffice.org is to be used only to contribute documentation about
the OpenOffice program.

Andrea.

considering the nature of the request and of that document, if I had
editing access to that website, I would:
1) remove it NOW. Why wait, in case like this? If and when somebody
objects later, let's listen to their reasons.
2) figure out how and why that stuff ended online in the first place?

Good catch, Brian! I'll remove that document in one week if nobody
objects. If the document is still there in one week, feel free to send a
reminder.

the easiest way is to check the properties of a file in your system's explorer program. there would be author, title, subject, keywords, creation date and so on. the user data is taken from 'tools -> options -> openoffice'. however, it is not specific to openoffice. every program does that and it is usualy possible to switch it of if you are of secretive nature; see fernando's reply to learn how.

There's metadata in virtually everything we save. It's not always a bad

I'm quite interested to find out that there might be hidden data in my .doc
and other AOO pages, which can be read by anyone. How do we read this in
other documents? Not just by clicking a box, but to see what might be
there?

Thanks, that's good to know. . .
For Mac OS users, click security options: remove personal information on
saving.
Preferences>security>security options and warnings > Security options
A bit redundant but I also enabled, security warning: Warn if documents
contain recorded changes, versions, hidden information or notes:
when saving or sending and when signing.

It looks like that has to be done on a document by document basis. Any way to make it global default?

I think you must be talking about part of the information embedded by
AOO in documents your create with your software. That is part of the
document properties. Microsoft Office does the same, as far as I know.
See
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/inspect-documents-for-hidden-data-and-personal-information-HA010074435.aspx
"If you plan to share an electronic copy of a Microsoft Office Word
document with clients or colleagues, it is a good idea to review the
document for hidden data or personal information that might be stored
in the document itself or in the document properties (metadata).
Because this hidden information can reveal details about your
organization or about the document itself that you might not want to
share publicly, you might want to remove this hidden information
before you share the document with other people."
(...)
"What types of hidden data and personal information are stored in Word
documents?
Several types of hidden data and personal information can be saved in
a Word document. This information might not be immediately visible
when you view the document in Office Word 2007, but it might be
possible for other people to view or retrieve the information.
Word documents can contain the following types of hidden data and
personal information:
(...)
Document properties and personal information Document
properties, also known as metadata, include details about your
document such as author, subject, and title. Document properties also
include information that is automatically maintained by Office
programs, such as the name of the person who most recently saved a
document and the date when a document was created. If you used
specific features, your document might also contain additional kinds
of personally identifiable information (PII), such as e-mail headers,
send-for-review information, routing slips, and template names."
The above is for Microsoft's office products but also applies to AOO.
In Apache OpenOffice, go to the menu option File->Properties, and in
the "General" tab remove the check box from "Apply user data".
Hope this helps!
