Follow MS suggestions as previously posted.
Then:
Try "Remove Hidden Data" rhdtool.exe - can be used as command line, I
believe, even if you don't have XP/2003. Just can't use on a higher
version than what you currently have installed.
You may end up with a huge RTF like file demonstrating that the document
still contains previous version data. If so, then use File -> Versions...
and delete the versions listed, making your new copy the first.
A way to get an idea of success would be to save as an HTML document, and
then view the XML Tag code for clues that might give information away.
Note neither File...Save as or Remove Personal Data really does the trick
completely. RTF seems to work fairly well at removing unwanted data.
