Is the above assumption correct? Thank you very much for your response.
The assumption is not correct. One very simple way to create a file with equal creation and modification dates/times is to use the Save As command in Word to save the modified document to a new file name. You could then delete or rename the original file, and change the name of the new file to the original name. Done.

Another way is to use a program to change the file's dates and times. The original program from Unix is called Touch, and there are lots of Windows implementations, e.g. http://sourceforge.net/projects/touchforwindows/
