Office Professional 95 - 32-Bit Windows
Recommendation: Install the Office 95 Year 2000 Update. To request the update on CD-ROM call 8880-673-8925 toll free.
See the Year 2000 Product Guide for your computer operating system and install prerequisite updates for Year 2000 compliance.
Date handling: With the Year 2000 update:
╖ Two-digit years 00 - 19 in Excel 95 are interpreted to be between 2000 and 2019; the shortcuts 20 - 99 are interpreted to be between 1920 and 1999.
╖ Two-digit years 00 - 79 in Schedule + are interpreted to be between 2000 and 2079; the shortcuts 80 - 99 are interpreted to be between 1980 and 1999.
╖ PowerPoint 95 presentations that contain date formats set to update automatically can be saved correctly to PowerPoint 4 format. Presentations with date formats set to display two-digit years and saved as PowerPoint 4.0 presentations will display the dates correctly.

Office Professional 4.XX - 16-Bit Windows
Recommendation: Install the updated Acc2Date.exe.
Date handling: By default, Access 2.0 interprets dates that are entered by the user or imported from a text file as occurring in the 1900s. After installing the Acc2Date.exe, two-digit shortcuts 00 - 29 are interpreted to be years between 2000 and 2029; 30 - 39 are interpreted to be between 1930 and 1999.
PowerPoint 4.0 does not convert two-digit shortcuts to four-digit years.
Excel 5.0 interprets two-digit years less than 20 to be in the 2000s and two-digit years 21 or larger to be in the 1900s.
For more information: See the Office Professional 4.XX Product Guide document and the Word 5.0 Product Guide document. See the Year 2000 Product Guide for each of the Microsoft Office programs you use. |
