SaveAs Web Page Has Wrong Title

B

Brian Gibson

When I click on "Save as web page" the wizard steps me through the various
steps and then creates a HTML document. When I look at the document via a
text editor it has MSProjectTemplate_ProjectTitle-->HRMS Q2 Planning
imbedded in it. The wizard never asked me for a project title - it just
"knew" that I wanted to call it this. The project information itself is my
project - only the title is provided from an unknown location. My short-term
work-around is to edit the HTML document and change the title to be the true
title of my project. Do you know the "real" correction?

The project title is derived from the Title field the Project Properties
dialog. Open the project in question, then click File - Properties. Change
the Title value in the Project Properties field and do your save as HTML
again.

Thanks for you help.

Weird. When I opened the File -- Properties the title was what I wanted --
not what I was getting. I changed it by adding a 2 to the end and then saved
the project and then SavedAs again to HTML. The title with the 2 on the end
now showed up. Bug?

Is this a bug win Project 2003? Same problem here. Create a new file,
go to File->Properties, has Project1, go to File->Save As Web Page, but
the title does not appear, the HTML just shows
<H1><!--MSProjectTemplate_ProjectTitle--></H1>.

Did you actually set a value in the Title field of the Properties dialog, or
did you just leave it as Project1? Did you actually save your project first
as either an .mpp file or in the Project Server database, or did you attempt
to save it directly as an HTML file?

I have tested this by entering a Title value different from the file name,
saved the file as an .mpp file, and then saved the same file as an HTML
file. The Title shows up correctly at the top of the Web page. Let us
know.
