Hi Jay,

You can do this with a macro:
Code:
Sub Anonymizer()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim strInFold As String, strOutFold As String, strFile As String, strOutFile As String, DocSrc As Document
'Call the GetFolder Function to determine the folder to process
strInFold = GetFolder
If strInFold = "" Then Exit Sub
strFile = Dir(strInFold & "\*.doc", vbNormal)
'Check for documents in the folder - exit if none found
If strFile <> "" Then strOutFold = strInFold & "\Output\"
'Test for an existing outpfolder & create one if it doesn't already exist
If Dir(strOutFold, vbDirectory) = "" Then MkDir strOutFold
strFile = Dir(strInFold & "\*.doc", vbNormal)
'Process all documents in the chosen folder
While strFile <> ""
  Set DocSrc = Documents.Open(FileName:=strInFold & "\" & strFile, AddTorecentFiles:=False, Visible:=False)
  With DocSrc
    'remove personal information
    .RemoveDocumentInformation (wdRDIDocumentProperties)
    'String variable for the output filenames
    strOutFile = strOutFold & Split(.Name, ".")(0)
    'Save and close the document
    .SaveAs FileName:=strOutFile
    .Close
  End With
  strFile = Dir()
Wend
Set Rng = Nothing: Set DocSrc = Nothing
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
 
Function GetFolder(Optional Title As String, Optional RootFolder As Variant) As String
On Error Resume Next
GetFolder = CreateObject("Shell.Application").BrowseForFolder(0, Title, 0, RootFolder).Items.Item.Path
End Function
Run the macro and select a folder to process. All documents in that folder will be processed. The modified files are saved to a folder named 'Output' below the selected folder. As coded, the macro removes only the std personal info. The 'RemoveDocumentInformation' method takes various 'RemoveDocInfoType' parameters. You may want to use different ones instead or as well.

Note: Protected files are liable to cause the macro to fail.
