How2 CHange dates of a file--suggested software not good enough

I used SKTimeStamp to change the dates of a file. However, I noticed it could only change 3 dates:
Date Created
Last Modified
Last Accessed
A search for such a utility often suggests "BulkFileChanger (BFC)" which seems to do the exact same thing: only these 3 dates.
However, if I right click on a file, for example a Word file, there 2 other dates listed:
Content Created
Date last Saved

Hence the above two utilities are not good enough. Is there a utility (or way) out there to change all dates including the last 2 mentioned?

Thanks in advance.

Cannot open Word documents in Windows 10

Thanks, Dave. I will keep your suggestions in case problem re-occurs!

I just restarted my laptop and now word files appear to be opening normally. I was concerned Imight have been infected with Malware, but apparently I just needed to Reboot.

Thanks again,

Harry
