New Document Inspector for Excel, PowerPoint, and Word

Beginning with the November and December 2014 updates for Microsoft Office 2013 and 2010, several enhancements are being added to the Document Inspector, also known as the “Check for Issues” tool in Excel, PowerPoint and Word. The Document Inspector helps you to prepare your documents, presentations, or workbooks for publishing and sharing by checking for items that may contain hidden or private information. In some cases, it will remove such items from your document, in other cases it alerts you even if it can’t automatically remove the items. For more information about the Document Inspector, read about it on Office.com, where there are articles explaining how it works in Excel, PowerPoint and Word.

The updates for Office 2013 and Office 2010 are adding several inspection modules, called inspectors, to Excel, PowerPoint and Word. The list below shows the new inspectors and which Office application they have been added to. Excel has several more new inspectors than PowerPoint and Word —simply because the features being inspected are only found in Excel.

PowerPoint and Word:

Embedded Documents

Macros, forms or ActiveX Controls

Excel:

Embedded Documents

Macros, forms or ActiveX Controls

Links to other files

PivotTables, PivotCharts, Cube Formulas, Slicers and Timelines*
*Timelines are detected only in Excel 2013, because timelines are not supported in Excel 2010.

Real Time Data Functions

Excel Surveys*
*Excel Surveys are only detected in Excel 2013, because Surveys are not supported in Excel 2010.

Defined Scenarios

Active Filters

Custom Worksheet Properties

Hidden Names

Note: Some of the new inspectors may not show up in Excel 2010 with the November and December updates for Office 2010. They will appear in an update in early 2015.

Descriptions of items detected by the new Inspectors
1. Embedded Documents
When you embed a document or an object, the contents of the embedded document may not be visible in the file you’re editing. For example, if you copy a chart from Excel and use the embed paste options to paste it into a PowerPoint slide, you are actually pasting the chart and the underlying Excel workbook into the PowerPoint slide. The chart is visible, but the data associated with the chart and the rest of the workbook may not be visible. However, if you share the presentation with someone, they would be able to open the entire workbook by right-clicking on the chart and selecting Edit Data > Edit the Data in Excel.

2. Macros, forms or ActiveX Controls
Macros (VBA Code), forms, and ActiveX Controls may contain personal or private information that is not readily visible in your document, but someone who goes looking would be able to find it.

3. Links to other files (Excel only)
In Excel, you can link your workbook to other files such that data from those files is shown in your workbook. Some information from the linked files is cached in your workbook, but it may not be visible when viewing in Excel.

4. PivotTables, PivotCharts, Cube Formulas, Slicers and Timelines* (Excel only)
When you use PivotTables, PivotCharts, Cube Formulas, Slicers, or Timelines your workbook may contain cached data which is not visible in the worksheets.
*Timelines are detected only in Excel 2013, because timelines are not supported in Excel 2010.

5. Real Time Data Functions (RTD) (Excel only)
RTD functions can pull data from sources outside the workbook that might change after you share it with someone, so what you thought you were sharing could be quite different from what the other person sees. You can read more about How to set up and use the RTD function in Excel.

6. Excel Surveys* (Excel only)
Excel Surveys are a feature of Excel Online where you can create a survey and then share it to easily collect survey responses from others. If your workbook contains an Excel Survey, you won’t see the survey title and questions in the worksheets unless you’re working in Excel Online, so you may want to know about it before you share the file with anyone.
*Excel Surveys are only detected in Excel 2013, because Surveys are not supported in Excel 2010.

7. Defined Scenarios (Excel only)
If you are using a scenario (Scenario Manager), which is part of the “What If” analysis tools in Excel, the scenario may be storing some private information which is not easily visible. For example, the scenario may contain values that are not visible in the worksheet, and it may also contain the name of the person who created or modified the scenario. If you want to know more about scenarios, read about it on Office.com.

8. Active Filters (Excel only)
When you use filters in your workbook, the filter conditions are cached in the workbook, even if you delete the rows that contain those values. For example, if you have a list of data and you set a filter condition like “contains ‘secret” and then you delete all the rows, you may still see the word “secret” if you look at the filter condition.

9. Custom Worksheet Properties (Excel only)
Worksheets can have custom properties and values which are not visible anywhere in the sheet. These could be created by an add-in or by VBA code. See Office.com for more information about how to create and use custom worksheet The Document Inspector can help you remove all the hidden worksheet properties, and you should be aware that removing them may cause your add-ins or macros to give unexpected results.

10.Hidden Names (Excel only)
In Excel, you can define a Name that represents a cell, range of cells, formula, or constant value. Visible defined Names can be seen in the Name Manager, but there can also be hidden Names, which will not appear in the Name Manager. Hidden Names may be created by an add-in or VBA code, and they may contain private information. See Office.com for more information about hidden defined names.
Final thoughts

The Document Inspector helps you avoid sharing personal or private information when you publish your Excel, PowerPoint and Word documents, and we think it’s a valuable tool, designed to detect many important items where information could be inadvertently shared. Even so, when sharing documents, you should keep in mind that are there items that the Document Inspector is not designed to detect. For example, in Excel you can put data in a far off row or column that you might not see when casually reviewing the spreadsheet, or in Word or PowerPoint, you could cover some data with a picture and forget it’s there.

It’s important to remember that the Document Inspector is not designed to take the place of common workflow processes, such as technical and legal review, peer review and editorial review. It is also not designed as a replacement for converting your document to a format in which, “what you see is what you get.” For example, you might want to save your document in one of the paper-like formats for sharing, such as Open XML Paper Specification (OpenXPS) or the Portable Document Format (PDF), or as a Single-File Web Page document (MHT).

Meet Recommended Documents for Word, PowerPoint, and Excel on Windows

Hi, I’m Todd Behrbaum, a Principal Program Manager working on intelligence experiences that save you time in Microsoft Office apps. I wanted to share some details about an exciting enhancement to Word, Excel, and PowerPoint for Windows that will help you quickly find and collaborate on documents that matter most to you and your colleagues! 

Get to Your Most Important Work Faster

In the face of ever-expanding file, email, and discussion traffic, we are trying to help you find the files that are most important to you and your team.

How do you keep track of or become aware of a Word file that has had 3 different edits in the last day, or find out that you’ve been @mentioned with a couple questions in an Excel file, or that you have 5 unread comments in an important presentation your team is working on? What if you had a prioritized list of files that had the most significant sharing, commenting, @mentions, editing, and opening activity?

The Recommended Documents service is the “magic” that helps keep track of all of this for you – it is the Intelligence that monitors all the file activity and uses machine learning (ML) to come up with a short list of files that is just what you need, saving you time and reducing distraction.

Using Recommended Documents

This service is now available in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint for Windows, and can be accessed when you click File and either open or create a file. You’ll see a group of cards that provide easily scannable information about the content and collaboration status of a few documents that we believe you should pay attention to. Let’s review each element:

The center of the card features a thumbnail so you can quickly recognize the file.

The upper part features an icon to indicate what type of activity is most significant and tells you who it was associated with. The 2nd line is the timestamp to let you know when the activity occurred.

At the bottom of the card, you’ll find the file name as well as the location of the file for reference.

Please note that for documents to appear in the Recommended Documents section, they must be stored on OneDrive for Business or SharePoint.

Availability

The feature is currently available in the latest Insider builds of Word, Excel and PowerPoint for Windows. It is also already available worldwide on Office.com and in Word, Excel and PowerPoint for iOS and Mac. 

Feedback

We’d love to hear from you! Let us know what you think and submit your feedback using the Send-a-Smile *Smile and Send-a-Frown *Sad buttons in Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. You can also provide feedback via Office.com through the Feedback callout at the bottom of the page.
