In my experience, Word 2000 doesn't keep 'everything', just an awful lot, and
not very predictably...  The safest thing to do before you exchange a Word
document with someone else, regardless of which version of Word you are using,
is to export the document to an RTF (Rich Text Format) document.  Then import
the RTF document into a new Word document.  After that, adjust the properties so
your new document correctly reflects the author, subject, etc.
