    Bug in MS word 2010 "Total Editing Time"

    I am a teacher and a student of mine submitted an essay made on MS Word 2010. Looking at the document properties, the total editing time was shown as "4294865233 minutes". I think that's about 9000 years. What would cause a MS Word document to read that for editing time?

    The TOTAL time simply means that you have open Microsoft Word until you save and close the document as you will know how long you have work in the document. Press ALT+SHIFT+F11 - locate TotalTime and delete the line.. Click the save button in that dialog then close and save the Word document. The time will be set at 0 minutes, however note that this counter ticks away all the time the document is open.

    Thanks for your reply! I understand how the total time counter works (though it only keeps time if the document is active, not merely open). My question is, how could it have racked up 9000 years of editing time?

    I guess that if you have several Word documents open, “Total Editing Time” records how long the document in question is the current active Word document. It doesn’t matter one iota whether you can actually see that Word document or whether it’s hidden behind a web browser displaying your favourite ‘research’ website. If that document was the last one you were looking at then its counter is still ticking.
