If a printed sheet is all you have, you wonât learn much. If you have a file, try the Word documentâs âmetadataâ. An Internet query for âword metadataâ will yield lots of articles about the information stored with a Word document. You donât need a special tool to reveal the âhiddenâ information; itâs not really âhidingâ. See the documentâs properties (right-click Word document, choose properties) âDetailsâ tab. Or get a special tool if youâll be doing bulk documents. âMetadataâ is the fifty dollar word for âthings in the Word document that people neglect to review.â
Christopher Columbus first landed on an island in the Bahamas. He  called the island San Salvatore. He called the people Indians  because he thought he'd reached the West Inâ¦dies.
On May 20, 1506, the great Italian explorer Christopher Columbus dies in Valladolid, Spain. Columbus was the first European to explore the Americas since the Vikings set up colonies in Greenland and Newfoundland in the 10th century. He explored the West Indies, South America, and Central America, but died a disappointed man, feeling he had been mistreated by his patron, King Ferdinand of Spain. Columbus was born in Genoa, Italy, in 1451. Little is known of his early life, but he worked as a seaman and then a sailing entrepreneur. He became obsessed with the possibility of pioneering a western sea route to Cathay (China), India, and the fabled gold and spice islands of Asia.
