INTRODUCTION

This article contains information about the daylight saving time (DST) changes in 2007. It discusses where you can find more information about these DST changes. It also discusses how these changes affect the time stamps of files that were created in Microsoft Office programs in 2007 and in earlier years.

MORE INFORMATION

Beginning in the year 2007, DST is extended in the United States and in some additional countries and regions around the world. In 2007 and in later years, the new DST period will be three or four weeks longer than the DST period was in earlier years. This depends on the year. The start date and end date for DST are listed as follows:
  • DST starts in the second week of March. In 2007, DST starts on March 11. This start date is three weeks earlier than the start date that was used in earlier years.
  • DST ends in the first week of November. In 2007, DST ends on November 4. This end date is one week later than the end date that was used in earlier years.
These changes to DST may affect the time stamps of file properties in Windows operating systems. Additionally, you should be aware of how time stamps are managed in Windows operating systems and in Office programs, such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Project, and Microsoft PowerPoint.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
