Product Details
Description of how the product handles dates: Microsoft PowerPoint stores all dates in a metacharacter placeholder that obtains and displays the current system time as a string when viewing in slide show or printing. Microsoft PowerPoint calls the GetDateFormat system function to convert current date to a string according to the user-selected system settings. All date handling undergoes the same function. 2-digit shortcut handling: Microsoft PowerPoint handles 2-digit dates for date field display only. User entry is text only and not considered a date representation. There is no conversion for user entry. Opening Microsoft PowerPoint 95 or Microsoft PowerPoint 97 files in Microsoft PowerPoint 4 with the use of the import converters PP7TRANS.DLL (16 bit) and PP8TRANS.DLL will result in an incorrect date format. Presentations created in Microsoft PowerPoint 95 or Microsoft PowerPoint 97 after 1999 with 'update automatically' date formats containing 2-digit years will be incorrectly displayed in PowerPoint 4 as a 2-digit year preceded by a "1". To work around this incorrect display, do not use 2-digit year formats when selecting 'update automatically'. Another workaround is to open the presentation in PowerPoint 95 or Microsoft PowerPoint 97 and resave it in the Microsoft PowerPoint 4 file format. For this method to work, you must replace the original PP7TRANS.DLL that shipped with Office 95 and Office 97 with, PP7TRANS.DLL version 7.07.1060 (for the U.S.). This download is available in both the PowerPoint 95 and PowerPoint 97 product guide. There is no fix currently available for the correcting the PowerPoint 4 installation. Common date usage errors: User applications should not rely on the text date representation within a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation since it is only available as plain text. Query, calculations and other operations are best conducted using standard Document Properties. Testing guidelines and recommendations: 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 PowerPoint within your organization. Area SubArea Microsoft’s Testing Summary File File Native Text Conversions Versions Document Properties       Microsoft PowerPoint stores dates in string format and calls the GetDateFormat system function to convert today's date to a string. All date calculation goes through the same function. So PPT should be OK. Use presentations that contain dates as test files for open/save, file conversion, printing, and slideshow. Change systems date prior to the year of 2000. Create and save test files. Change systems date to year of 2000 or later and reopen presentation.   Change systems date to year of 2000 or later. Create and save test files. Change the systems date prior to the year of 2000 and reopen presentation.

Opening Microsoft PowerPoint 95 or Microsoft PowerPoint 97 files in Microsoft PowerPoint 4 with the use of the import converters PP7TRANS.DLL (16 bit) and PP8TRANS.DLL will result in an incorrect date format. Presentations created in Microsoft PowerPoint 95 or Microsoft PowerPoint 97 after 1999 with 'update automatically' date formats containing 2-digit years will be incorrectly displayed in PowerPoint 4 as a 2-digit year preceded by a "1". To work around this incorrect display, do not use 2-digit year formats when selecting 'update automatically'. Another workaround is to open the presentation in PowerPoint 95 or Microsoft PowerPoint 97 and resave it in the Microsoft PowerPoint 4 file format. For this method to work, you must replace the original PP7TRANS.DLL that shipped with Office 95 and Office 97 with, PP7TRANS.DLL version 7.07.1060 (for the U.S.). This download is available in both the PowerPoint 95 and PowerPoint 97 product guide. There is no fix currently available for the correcting the PowerPoint 4 installation. Common date usage errors: User applications should not rely on the text date representation within a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation since it is only available as plain text.

Operational Range for Data: System dependent Prerequisites: For Microsoft PowerPoint 95 to execute short dates in the 21st century when saving to Microsoft PowerPoint 4.0 format, a new version of the translator, PP7TRANS.DLL version 7.07.1060 (Note: Windows 95 and 98 users will see this file as 7.0), must be downloaded. Please see below for these downloads. Clock Dependencies: Both operating system and internal clocks are used. The internal clock is used only for time functions in slideshow rehearsal, animations and short delays. Microsoft PowerPoint uses the Windows GetLocalTime call to get the current date and time from the system. Description of how the product handles dates: Storage. Microsoft PowerPoint stores all dates in string format or a metacharacter placeholder that obtains and displays the current system time as a string. Microsoft PowerPoint calls the GetDateFormat system function to convert current date to a string according to the user-selected system settings. 2-digit shortcut handling: PowerPoint handles 2-digit dates for date field display only. User entry is text only and not considered a date representation. There is no conversion for user entry. Common date usage errors: User applications should not rely on the text date representation within a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation since it is only available as plain text. Query, calculations and other operations are best conducted using standard Document Properties. Saving to non-native formats (including Microsoft PowerPoint 4.0) may cause loss or incorrect entry of century data for Insert Date and Time functionality. More specifically, presentations created in Microsoft PowerPoint 95 or Microsoft PowerPoint 97 after 1999 with 'update automatically' date formats containing 2-digit years will be incorrectly displayed in Microsoft PowerPoint 4 as a 2-digit year preceded by a "1". For Microsoft PowerPoint 95 to execute short dates in the 21st century when saving to Microsoft PowerPoint 4.0 format, a new version of the translator, PP7TRANS.DLL version 7.07. (Note: Windows 95 and 98 users will see this file as 7.0) must be downloaded. Download PP7TRANS.DLL version 7.07.1060 http://microsoft.com/technet/topics/year2k/product/ppty2kus.exe To install the patch (For more information see the downloaded PP95 readme) 1. Download the patch to your desktop or to a specific directory such as c:\date 2. If Microsoft PowerPoint is running, quit Microsoft PowerPoint. 3. Using File Manager or Windows Explorer, double-click the PPTY2KUS.exe (PPTY2KFE.exe for Japanese version) file located on your desktop or in your c:\date folder. 4. After a moment, you will see the following message in a Windows dialog box: Please type the location where you want the extracted files. Use the Browse button to specify the location where you want the files to be extracted either to the desktop or the c:\date directory. 5. Go to that location and double click on the PP95READ.TXT file there (this file). 6. Locate the installation location of the file translators for Office 95 or PowerPoint 95. This is ususally c:\MSOffice\PowerPnt. Alternatively you could use Windows Explorer to search for the directory "PowerPnt." 7. Copy the PP7TRANS.DLL file into the ...\PowerPnt directory of your Office 95 or PowerPoint 95 installation. 8. Click on the new PP7TRANS.DLL file on your desktop or in your c:\date directory, press the right mouse button and select COPY. Then click on your ...\PowerPnt directory. Press the right mouse button and select PASTE. Click "Yes" in the confirm file replace dialog. If you are using Windows NT 3.51, use the File|Copy command on the File menu to copy the file. 9. This concludes the fix to the year 2000 problem. You may wish to remove the files you downloaded and extracted to the desktop or c:\date directory.

Product Details
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 customers’ Year 2000 efforts, Microsoft intends to maintain Office 95 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. Operational Range for Data: System dependent Prerequisites: An Office 95 Year 2000 update is now available that corrects all known Year 2000 related issues in the applications used in Office 95. For more detailed information and to download this update please go to http://officeupdate.microsoft.com/Articles/o95y2kinternational.htm. Clock Dependencies: Both operating system and internal clocks are used. The internal clock is used only for time functions in slideshow rehearsal, animations and short delays. Microsoft PowerPoint uses the Windows GetLocalTime call to get the current date and time from the system. Description of how the product handles dates: Storage. Microsoft PowerPoint stores all dates in string format or a metacharacter placeholder that obtains and displays the current system time as a string. Microsoft PowerPoint calls the GetDateFormat system function to convert current date to a string according to the user-selected system settings. 2-digit shortcut handling: PowerPoint handles 2-digit dates for date field display only. User entry is text only and not considered a date representation. There is no conversion for user entry. Common date usage errors: User applications should not rely on the text date representation within a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation since it is only available as plain text. Query, calculations and other operations are best conducted using standard Document Properties. Saving to non-native formats (including Microsoft PowerPoint 4.0) may cause loss or incorrect entry of century data for Insert Date and Time functionality. More specifically, presentations created in Microsoft PowerPoint 95 or Microsoft PowerPoint 97 after 1999 with 'update automatically' date formats containing 2-digit years will be incorrectly displayed in Microsoft PowerPoint 4 as a 2-digit year preceded by a "1". For Microsoft PowerPoint 95 to execute short dates in the 21st century when saving to Microsoft PowerPoint 4.0 format, a new version of the translator, PP7TRANS.DLL version 7.07.1060 (Note: Windows 95 and 98 users will see this file as 7.0), must be downloaded. Testing guidelines and recommendations: 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 PowerPoint within your organization. Area Sub-Area   File File Native Text Conversions Graphics Filters Versions Document Properties Send To Outlook Journal Posting PowerPoint stores dates in string format. Microsoft PowerPoint calls the GetDateFormat system function to convert today's date to a string. All date calculation goes through the same function. Use presentations that contain all possible date formats as test files for open/save, file conversion, , printing, and slideshow. Test files should include all 13 Date and Time formats Test files will include Far East date formats (eg., Japanese Emperor date and the Taiwan date) and other international date formats to test against year 2000. Change systems date prior to the year 2000. Create and save test files. Change systems date to year of 2000 or later and reopen presentation. Change systems date to year of 2000 or later. Create and save test files. Change the systems date prior to the year of 2000 and reopen presentation. Save test files in HTML format and reopen in different browsers. Reopen the test file under a localized system where the system clock is set to a date/time in a year greater than or equal to 2000. Edit Slide View View Outline View Notes Page Slide Show Header and Footer Comments Insert Date and Time Comments Objects Tools Meeting Minder Slide Show     PowerPoint 95 uses a number of Microsoft Office 95 shared files for the implementation of dialogs and toolbars, task automation, online help, installation, graphics, file find and file I/O. For additional information that is appropriate for PowerPoint 95, please refer either to the document for the particular Office version that this application came with, or, in the case of a standalone product, to any version 95 Microsoft Office document.

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 customers’ Year 2000 efforts, Microsoft intends to maintain Office 95 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. Operational Range for Data: System dependent Prerequisites: For Microsoft PowerPoint 95 to execute short dates in the 21st century when saving to Microsoft PowerPoint 4.0 format, a new version of the translator, PP7TRANS.DLL version 7.07.1060 (Note: Windows 95 and 98 users will see this file as 7.0), must be downloaded. Please see below for these downloads. Clock Dependencies: Both operating system and internal clocks are used. The internal clock is used only for time functions in slideshow rehearsal, animations and short delays. Microsoft PowerPoint uses the Windows GetLocalTime call to get the current date and time from the system. Description of how the product handles dates: Storage. Microsoft PowerPoint stores all dates in string format or a metacharacter placeholder that obtains and displays the current system time as a string. Microsoft PowerPoint calls the GetDateFormat system function to convert current date to a string according to the user-selected system settings. 2-digit shortcut handling: PowerPoint handles 2-digit dates for date field display only. User entry is text only and not considered a date representation. There is no conversion for user entry. Common date usage errors: User applications should not rely on the text date representation within a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation since it is only available as plain text. Query, calculations and other operations are best conducted using standard Document Properties. Saving to non-native formats (including Microsoft PowerPoint 4.0) may cause loss or incorrect entry of century data for Insert Date and Time functionality. More specifically, presentations created in Microsoft PowerPoint 95 or Microsoft PowerPoint 97 after 1999 with 'update automatically' date formats containing 2-digit years will be incorrectly displayed in Microsoft PowerPoint 4 as a 2-digit year preceded by a "1". For Microsoft PowerPoint 95 to execute short dates in the 21st century when saving to Microsoft PowerPoint 4.0 format, a new version of the translator, PP7TRANS.DLL version 7.07.1060 (Note: Windows 95 and 98 users will see this file as 7.0), must be downloaded. Download PP7TRANS.DLL version 7.07.1060 To install the patch (For more information see the downloaded PP95 readme) 1. Download the patch to your desktop or to a specific directory such as c:\date 2. If Microsoft PowerPoint is running, quit Microsoft PowerPoint. 3. Using File Manager or Windows Explorer, double-click the PPTY2KUS.exe file located on your desktop or in your c:\date folder. 4. After a moment, you will see the following message in a Windows dialog box: Please type the location where you want the extracted files. Use the Browse button to specify the location where you want the files to be extracted either to the desktop or the c:\date directory. 5. Go to that location and double click on the PP95READ.TXT file there (this file). 6. Locate the installation location of the file translators for Office 95 or PowerPoint 95. This is ususally c:\MSOffice\PowerPnt. Alternatively you could use Windows Explorer to search for the directory "PowerPnt." 7. Copy the PP7TRANS.DLL file into the ...\PowerPnt directory of your Office 95 or PowerPoint 95 installation. 8. Click on the new PP7TRANS.DLL file on your desktop or in your c:\date directory, press the right mouse button and select COPY. Then click on your ...\PowerPnt directory. Press the right mouse button and select PASTE. Click "Yes" in the confirm file replace dialog. If you are using Windows NT 3.51, use the File|Copy command on the File menu to copy the file. 9.
