If anyone like me was looking for proof this is actually possible in the files:

Broe’s video showed him copying several paragraphs from one document in the DOJ’s Epstein library/2022.03.17-1%20Exhibit%201.pdf) from the “Court Records” section. While the paragraph Broe selected includes several redactions, all of the redactions were removed after Broe pasted the paragraph in question into a Word document. AlterNet was able to confirm that that specific document’s redactions could be read in Word, as well as in Mac’s Pages application and in Google Docs.
