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

Columbus' ships arriving on land. Christopher Columbus Saw Land! October 12, 1492. Early in the morning on October 12, 1492, a sailor looked out to the horizon from the bow of his sailing ship, the Pinta, and saw land. After 10 long weeks at sea, from the port of Palos, Spain, Columbus and his crews saw the New World. The following day, 90 crew members from Columbus's three-ship fleet set foot on the island of Guanahani in the Bahamas and planted the flag of their sponsors, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain.
