Word stores all sorts of unsavory information in .docs: past edits and undos, your name, the location of the file on your computer, etc. There should be a command to remove all such information from a file, thereby [arguably] reducing functionality while cleaning the file for general consumption and
distribution.

Save it as a pdf. Then people will be able to read it on any platform, safe from viruses and it will be properly formatted too. |
