I need the internal metadata in a collection of .docx files rewritten—not the Windows file properties, only what Word shows under File > Info > Properties > Advanced. The task is purely to modify three fields: • Creation Date • Modified Date • Total Editing Time I will send the documents one by one. For each file I will supply the exact values that should appear, and I expect the returned document to open flawlessly in Word with those new timestamps reflected. How you achieve this is up to you—Open XML SDK, python-docx, PowerShell, or another reliable method—as long as the text content stays intact and the new metadata persists after saving or sharing the file. Along with the updated documents, a short note (or script if you automate the process) outlining your approach would be appreciated so I can repeat it later. If you have handled Word metadata editing before, please let me know and feel free to mention any similar projects.

Hi, I can help with rewriting the three Word “Advanced Properties” fields so your .docx files open in Word flawlessly with updated Creation Date, Modified Date, and Total Editing Time. I’d start by confirming the exact target values you provide, then I’ll update the document metadata while keeping all text/content untouched. I’ll also validate by re-opening each returned file in Word to ensure the timestamps persist after saving/sharing. Do you want me to preserve the existing timezone/format exactly as supplied, and will the three fields be the only Info>Properties values you want changed? If you share the first docx and the replacement values, we can begin right away.

Your `.docx` files need their internal timestamps permanently updated without breaking the document formatting. I recently earned a 5-star review for automating complex file processing pipelines. I also built a data platform (Synlitics) that handles raw file transformations daily, so I know exactly how to safely manipulate core XML properties using Python. I can write the custom automation script and deliver your first modified file in under 24 hours. Can you share the first document and your target timestamps so I can run a test today?
