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.
Columbus, of course, never saw the mainland United States, but the first explorations of the continental United States were launched from the Spanish possessions that he helped establish. The first of these took place in 1513 when a group of men under Juan Ponce de Leon landed on the Florida coast near the present city of St. Augustine. With the conquest of Mexico in 1522, the Spanish further solidified their position in the Western Hemisphere.
