I am aware of the article on how to Minimize Metadata on documents 290945, but wouldn't you be removing all the Metadata if you simply cut and pasted the text into a new blank document

I want all previous metadata to be lost, information like like author, created on/by, edited on/by, accessed on/by, and any other information regarding who, what, when, where, and how. In other words, I don't want this document to reveal any previous/historical information like the original author, versions, edits, dates of any sort, and/or revisions. Will copying the text out of a document and pasting it into another achieve this? I don't mind formatting carrying over, but the document properties or as they are referred to as metadata is what I don't want to carry over to the new pasted to document.
 
I've done some work with this. If you cut and paste an existing document
into a new blank document, the previous metadata is lost. When you save
the new document, it will not have any of the historical data about its
creation.
