| WordPerfect 8 - this software is compliant. It interprets two-digit years as being in the range 1951 to 2050, and can handle four-digit years from 1900 to 9999+. |
| WordPerfect 7 for Windows 95 - this software is compliant with minor issues. Two-digit years are calculated in a variety of ways, based on the internal function that calculates them and also on the Short Date style set in the Windows 95 Regional Settings control panel. The recommended workaround is to (a) set the Windows 95 Short Date style to use four-digit years, and (b) to always use four digit years in WordPerfect 7. For more information consult Corel's Y2K page for WordPerfect 7 for Windows 95. |
| WordPerfect 7 for Windows 3.1 - this software is compliant. It interprets all two-digit years as being between 1951 and 2050. It can handle a four-digit year range from 1900 to 9999+. |
| WordPerfect 6.1 for Windows 3.1 - this software is compliant with minor issues. It interprets two-digit years as being between 1970 and 2069, EXCEPT that entering 00 for a year defaults to the current year as defined by the operating system. In Date formatted cells in tables, two-digit years are always assumed to be in the 20th century. The recommended workaround is to (a) set the Short Date Format in Windows Time/Date control panel to include the century, and (b) always use four-digit dates in WordPerfect.
