Payne Consulting of Seattle has announced the release of Metadata Assistant for Microsoft Excel, which cleans out hidden information from Excel documents. Following the positive response for Metadata Assistant for Word, this new software extends the same functionality to Excel files, which have even more hidden data than Word files. Metadata has seen an upsurge in importance as the rise of electronic discovery has put an increasing number of vital business documents into the hands of opposing parties to litigation or other business matters. With Metadata Assistant, readers can analyze hidden data that exists in a spreadsheet or word processing document and remove hidden data that could include concealed numbers that comprise confidential company formulas or text revealing incriminating motivations. The new software is offered at no additional charge to those who have licensed Word Metadata Assistant Enterprise Version. The add-in is compatible with Microsoft Excel versions 97-2002 (Office XP) as well as the current beta for Office 11.
