how to change the date of creation of a word file - ms-word

I was wondering if it is possible to change the date of creation of a word file. For instance, I created my word file in 2012, but I want to show it as it is created in 2003. Is this possible? If yes, could you please explain it?

To change access time use time stomp -

I doesn't know why you would want to do this ? The above is a anti malware and ethical hacking tool as well as penetration testing tool.

Create a desktop app that generate ms word file

I'm now working with tons of MS Word files and trying to find a way in improving my workflow.
I'm wondering if there's a way to create a desktop app which can preview certain parts from a Word file, select them and generate a new one with controls in Word's text style, paragraph, etc.
I supposed that this would take MS Word API and some frame structure particularly. I've been using Electron/node.js to create some cross platform applications, wondering if it can do as well? Or is there any reference that I can dig in?
Sorry if this sounds like a rookie one. I've tried to search but still can't find out where to start.
There are three possible ways to get the job done:
Automate MS Word to get job done. See Automate MS Office Applications using Python win32com module for more information. For example:
import win32com.client
word = win32com.client.Dispatch("Word.Application")
Use the Open XML SDK for generating Word documents at runtime, see Welcome to the Open XML SDK 2.5 for Office for more information.
Use third-party components.
If you are on Windows, there seem to be some way to access Word files in Python: https://www.blog.pythonlibrary.org/2010/07/16/python-and-microsoft-office-using-pywin32/. Maybe in node too.

Batch edit the file creation date

Someone set the wrong date in the camera settings and now has several hundred pictures with 2013 as the year. Is there a way to batch-edit the creation date by decreasing the year by 1?
Thanks in advance
Here you can find 2 powershell script to get & set Exif Date Taken of your photos.
Read carefully what Chris wrote in his blog.
I've used this script for the same your problem on some jpeg before buying LightRoom that do EXIF editing really easy.
I believe you could also use a ComObject in PowerShell Wia.ImageFile to manipulate the information. PowerShell Team wrote a blog post on it here. They provided a module that you might be able to use. I loaded a file and found the DateTaken in the value of "DateTime" under the Properties property of the $image variable, if done as the blog post showed an example of.
I think you could also do this in the GUI of Windows Explorer. I took two files I had taken with a Canon and selected both of them and went into Properties. Under the Details tab I just changed the year value. The month, day, and time staid the same. I did this on two files and it worked, although if you are talking about hundreds not sure how that would perform.

FileMaker Pro 10 - How to Extract Layout and Scripts from fp7 File?

I want to start tracking my FileMaker changes in Subversion but all I have a big binary file with everything. Is there a way to extract the layout and script parts into a text format so that I can see diffs of what was changed?
I'm thinking maybe there's a 3rd party tool for that?
I think the closest thing you're going to find is FileMaker Pro Advanced's Database Design Report, which will export an XML or HTML representation of all of the elements in a FileMaker database. The report will include all of the script steps for a file and all of the position and other information for the layout objects, but depending on the size of your FileMaker system, it may take a while to generate each time.
I use version control for my FileMaker systems but don't bother with diffs, just making sure that I provide adequate comments for my commits.
You should check out FMDiff. It reads the original filemaker files (without needing to generate a DDR) and shows differences between multiple versions of the same file. I've not used it before, but always intended to.

create jrxml file at run time and modify at run time

I have a requirement to develop custom reports where we already have some reoprts developed using JasperReports using iReport tool. Now the requirement is to modify those reports design at run time. I should use those existing jrxml files and save as to new report then change the design at run time. Also I should see those newly created reports whenever I want.
I have gone through the Jasper API and Dynamic Reports where we can create the reports dynamically at run time but we can't save the design (like JRXML).
I am looking for any other JRXML design API to create and modify and save the Jasper Reports at run time.
I appreciate if any one can help me.
Thanks in Advance

It seems DynamicJasper can do this.
First thing you will need to draw a flow chart of how you want to do things.
For example, if the report already exists, and you want it as is, what will you do?
In case you want to modify it a little, do you want to save as jrxml and compile each time?
Or do you want to compile to jasper, store on local storage then populate later.
It seems you want to build a reporting engine and answering all those questions is basic. In that case here is something to start from.
Find a factory called DocumentBuilderFactory which will help you parse the XML into DOM object, modify then save it.
Here is a good tutorial on using it

Convert Word 6.0 to Word 2003 programatically

With the latest security update from MS
Security
Existing word templates documents could not be loaded and they started throwing exceptions each time we load.
We would like to convert the existing Word 6.0 to Word 2003 programmatically or by using a tool.
How do we convert using .NET? Or any existing MS Tool
Thanks for the help
I'd start with here on how to programmatically hit Word's object model. Once you get that down, it should be a simple matter of writing a program to get Word to open a file and then perform a "Save As" for every file you have.
your other option is to use OpenOffice in a scripted way.
