How the product handles dates:
- Storage. Date and time values for date usage in Word are stored either as simple text strings or as a long integer (4-digit years). The "Print Date" glossary entries and Insert Date command bring in dates as they update. These are not stored in the document. They are stored as calls to the system, which are made when the file is opened, viewed in print preview, or printed.
- String date parsing. Date values that are imported from another program are simple text. Therefore, they are not handled as date values.
Two-digit shortcut handling:
There is no functionality in Word 5.1 to convert a 2-digit date in Word 5.1a to a 4-digit date.
Testing guidelines and recommendations:
In general, avoid testing in a production environment because side effects with other products cannot be predicted. Interoperability testing with other Microsoft Office products can be conducted safely.
The following areas should be examined to verify that dates are being properly used. The table below can be used to guide testing of Microsoft Word within your organization.
