SUMMARY

This article explains how to change the <TITLE> tag of a Web page created with Microsoft Publisher. This can be done directly within Publisher without using a text editor to modify the HTML source code of the web page.

MORE INFORMATION

When Publisher 97 creates a web site, the title of the site is the name of the source .pub file.

To Rename the Web Page Title

  1. Open the original .pub file from which the Web site was created.
  2. On the File menu click Save As.
  3. Rename the .pub file to the desired Title for your web site.
  4. On the File menu, click Publish Web Site to Folder.
When you browse a Web page with Microsoft Internet Explorer, any text that appears between the following two tags,

<title>
</title>

appears in the title bar of Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer also uses the title of the web page to provide a default name for that web site when you add it to your list of favorites. The title of a web page can be edited in a text editor by viewing the HTML source code of the web page. This article is provided as an alternative to editing HTML source code. Microsoft Publisher does not provide technical support for editing HTML source code.
