Publisher 2003 document title

[James Martin]

I am giving my girlfriend a hand writing a book. Its currently in
Word but I'd like to starting making it more "book like" so wanted to
switch to Publisher.

I used the import wizard and all appeared fine except that at the top
of each page and on the title page it has "Document Title" rather than
the title from the Word properties.

I tried changing the title in Publisher using File->Properties but
this doesn't change whats at the top of each page. It doesn't even
change what appears on new pages.

Am I missing something here? Are you really supposed to edit each
page, and each new page, to set the title?

Thanks

James

If you change the title on the first page, do the rest of the pages follow
suit?

I tried creating a new Publisher document and importing the Word file
to it. Then I changed the title on the first page. But that had no
effect on subsequent pages.

I tried the same thing again but this time included a title page and
then changed the title on that. Again this had no effect on
subsequent pages.


I tried setting the document title in properies... no joy!

I tried all the above again but this time I changed the design after
changing the title to see if it would give Publisher a kick... but it
made no difference.

Thanks

Put the title on the Master Page (Ctrl+m), adjust your text boxes on the foreground.

Thanks for the suggestion. But this seems to need even more work than
editing the title on each page. After editing the master page I then
have to move all the boxes down on each page and then I still have to
remove "Document Title" from inside the boxes.

Its a great shame that Publisher cannot maintain this title in a way
that doesn't require editing each page.
