[Technology] Help! Changing File Attributes of a Word Document

I'm trying to change some file attributes of a word document.

I can change the date modified and date created no problem but this leaves a date last saved of when i changed those attributes shown under the Properties/Details tab. So now I need to change that.

So I now specifically want to change the "Date Last Save" which is shown in the Properties - Details Tab.

The programmes i've tried so far are:

Bulkfile changer: can't do it

Attribute Changer : can't do it

MS Word Document File Properties Changer: This one can do it but it then gives a ridiculously long editing time of 33:30 hours even if I retype the original in it keeps automatically changing to 33:30 every time I click save. It also gives a ridiculously long number of revisions of 2010 which keeps automatically reverting to that every time I change it.

So I basically just need to be able to change the "date last saved" to a back date of my choice without it affecting the other info.

Any suggestions? Thanks

Or why not try not attempting to commit some sort of fraudulent act, innit? ???

It's nothing to do with fraud I just want to do some minor tweaking to an old document but keep all the date attributes of the original document after the minor tweaking has been undertaken.

PM Bens Grandad, he is good at this sort of thing.

Get a De lorean, fit a flux capaicitor, drive it at 88MPH, arrive in the past and edit your doc, return to the future and print it off.

Can you manually change the date/time of the machine then save the file?

That worked. Thanks. It also changed the date accessed but I was able to re alter that with the attribute changer. Problem solved.
