    It would be helpful if you would describe what you mean by "summary" (or provide a screen shot). At a guess, at File | Options | Display: Printing options, make sure you don't have "Document properties" checked.

    Hello, Tim. Thanks for bringing this up. If you want to remove the “Summary” in Word, you can try the Document Inspector. Open your file, go to File, select Info, then Check for Issues and choose Inspect Document. In the window that appears, check Document Properties and Personal Information, then run Inspect and select Remove All. Save your document afterward.

    Let me know if that works.

    Regards,

    Arlene D.
