Word 98 -
this software is compliant.
All functions in Word that manipulate dates store the year as a
32-bit (four-digit) number. Consistent use of four-digit years
is highly recommended.
For more information consult Microsoft's
Y2K disclosure for Word 98.
Word 6.xx -
this software is compliant with minor issues because it
interprets all two-digit years as being in the 20th
century. This problem may be avoided by consistently using
four-digit years. Also, the Find File Advanced Search will not
recognize years outside of this range, even if they are entered
as four-digit years.
For more information consult Microsoft's
Y2K disclosure for Word 6.xx.
Word 5.1a -
this software is compliant. Dates are stored either
as text strings or as four-digit years. There is no functionality
for converting two-digit to four-digit years.
For more information consult Microsoft's
Y2K disclosure for Word 5.1a.
