[AccessD] burned by word

We have a security program in place that asks if you want to clean the word
document before sending it.  That way if you created it from a previous
document, that previous information would be removed.  We did this after we
heard about a case where a real estate company was burned by this same
feature.  They sent a lease agreement to a potential tenant to look over and
sign.  It had been created from a previous agreement with a lower rent.  The
potential tenant discovered the lower rent given to another tenant and
demanded the lower price based on the document.
