By default, all 2-digit year entries less than 30 (or about that) are
converted to 20th century (eg "30" --> "1930", ""25" --> "2025")

Would like to make cutoff around 1970-2069.

After much research, still unable to find method for changing this
characteristic.
Docs suggest using "group policy" which I have been unable to locate on my
system, which is, BTW, personal & standalone and I am only user and
administrator.

This may be an Office issue rather than an XP issue. If so, I apologize.

Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Customize > Date (on my
system) shows that the from date cannot be changed from 1930 to anything
later so my guess is you're stuck.

Date shows 1930 greyed out, but lets me change the other date--2929, the
ending date. Push it it upwards, and 1930 changes to the corresponding
value.
I pushed it to 2069, and the starting year became 1970.
