How to "Blind" your paper for the review process

1. Using Word XP, open the document, click on the menu for TOOLS, OPTIONS, and SECURITY tab, and click the two options: REMOVE PERSONAL INFORMATION... and WARN BEFORE PRINTING, SAVING, OR SENDING... Then save your document. (Other versions of WORD have similar capabilities.). Using MS Word 2000, Log onto a computer as a user account that does not identify the author (i.e. administrator or user). Logging in this way and saving the document will clear the last saved by field of any identifying information. Next then open the document and click on the menu FILE, PROPERTIES, and SUMMARY tab, then delete the name in the AUTHOR Field, the Organization in the ORGANIZATION field, and clear any other fields that identify the author. Then Save the Document and it will be blinded.
