Product Maintenance: While Microsoft continues to recommend that customers install the most current Service Pack/Release for non-Year 2000 reasons, we understand that, for many reasons, this may not be possible. In order to aid our customersÆ Year 2000 efforts, Microsoft intends to maintain PowerPoint 2000 version 9.0 as compliant through January 1, 2001. Newer Service Packs are also to be maintained as compliant, and may include additional non-Year 2000 updates. This is intended to minimize the Year 2000 as a reason to upgrade.
How the product handles dates:
Dates are stored in string format or a metacharacter placeholder that gets and displays the current system time as a string. The GetDateFormat system function converts the current date to a string according to system settings selected by the user.
Two-digit shortcut handling:
PowerPoint supports 2-digit shortcuts for date field display only. User entry is text only and is not considered a date representation.
Common date usage errors:
User applications should not rely on the text date representation within a PowerPoint presentation because it is only available as plain text. Query, calculations, and other operations are best conducted by using standard document properties.
Testing guidelines and recommendations:
In general, avoid testing in a production environment or with nonduplicated production files 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 looked at to verify that dates are being properly used. This table can be used to guide testing of PowerPoint within your organization.
