MS Word File Properties

For knowing the details of file we right click the file and select the properties option. Sometime after the file creation, we come to know that file size is more than what is expected.

Thus users have other idea of saving the same file with different format for size reduction policy .Thus is it possible to view the properties of file while it is being saved for the first time.. ?

Yes its possible, but for that we have to enable certain conditions. The viewing of file size feature is enabled in MS Word. For that you have to go to the "Tool" menu. In that select "Options" and in that further select the "Save" tab.

In the current window opened, select "Prompt for Document Properties". This must be enabled for knowing the properties of file.

In some MS Word document, if the author information is not needed, then this feature has to be disabled. For that select "Tool" menu.

In that select "Options". From the various tabs available select the "Security" tab.Then enable "Remove Personal Information from Properties on Save" option.

Finally if other users should not know that you have recently viewed certain document, then for that you have to goto "My Recent Documents" select "Tools".

In the obtained folder just delete all the shortcuts and refresh it. Then the recent documents viewed will show as empty.

Thus by knowing certain properties available in MS Word, we can maintain our size, privacy and other security aspects..
