is there anyway to change the creation date on a word document?

Question

or more importantly, is there a way to change a file name on a document without the creation date changing?

Answer 1

You can create a second document in a different name and with a specific creation date but has the same content as the first document.



1) Go to Date and Time Property to change the system date to the desired date (in this case, let's change the date to January 1, 1985)



2) Create a blank Word document with the desired name



3) Save the blank document and exit Word



4) Change the Date and Time back to the real date and time



5) Open the first document and copy all its content



6) Paste the content into the newly created second Word Document



7) Save and exit



Now you should have a new document that's with a creation date of 1-1-1985 but with the content of the first document.

Answer 2

Of course, when you change the name it will only change the "Date Modified" date. Creation date is only modified once, on the date of creation.
