SUMMARY
=======
When you view your document, you may see PRIVATE fields, as in the following
example:
{PRIVATE}
MORE INFORMATION
================
Microsoft Word uses the PRIVATE field to store data for documents converted from
other file formats. Word inserts a PRIVATE field when converting file formats;
the PRIVATE field contains data needed for converting a document back to its
original file format. If the document will not be used in its original
application again, then you can delete the PRIVATE fields.
A PRIVATE field is formatted as hidden text and doesn't affect the document
layout in Word when Display Hidden Text is turned off.
To Turn the "Display Hidden Text" Option Off
--------------------------------------------
1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. On the View tab, click to clear the "Hidden Text" check box, and then click
OK.
