Wish to add Metadata Tags like I can add MS Property Tags in WORD

J

Jim Keebler

Here is an example of a metadata tag that MS Word 2003 automatically inserts
<meta name=ProgId content=Word.Document>

Here is an example of a metadata tag I want to insert via MS Word
<META NAME="date.created" LANG="EN" CONTENT="2005-12-13" />


The MSDN and TechNet KB only has information on Metadata removal.
I need to insert Metadata Tags, similar to the way you can insert Microsoft
Property Tags currently.

If this feature/function is not currently available in MS Office 2003, will
it be available in Office 2006 (12).

Hi Jim,

In the example you used Word uses the information to help it determine if it should open the .HTM file in Word or in Internet
Explorer.

Custom document properties end up in XML notation, such as
<o:Keywords>MY KEYWORDS</o:Keywords>
within the source of the web document, rather than in a meta tag.

MS's recommended approach is to use MS Office FrontPage. To add meta elements to a Word document you can use Tools=>Macros=>MS
Script Editor (an optional Office 2003 installation item) and put your meta elements in there, for example

<meta name=date content="12/31/97">

Position the element after this portion of the <head> section of your Word web document (if not then the script editor/Word will
move it there anyway when you save <g>)

</style>
<![endif]-->

As far as Word 12 goes, at this point may be too early to tell. You may want to check one of the Word/Office team blogs on
http://blogs.msdn.com for postings or to ask the MS folks directly there.
