Catalog Merger and Web Site titles

I am trying to build a rather simple website that requires constant updates. There will be hundreds of individual pages. Every day I'll have to modify or add something.

To simplify making changes I decided to put everything in Access Database. There I can easily locate records, make the modification or add new records, and do it all in one place.

I set up the catalog merge feature in MS Publisher so that each record will generate its own page, which is exactly what I want - all the information for one record on its own page.

However, I can't find a way to code the title of each page according to a record in the database. Having 100 pages with nonsense page titles does me no good, since there will be links on the index page that point to each page created by the catalog merge. Setting all those links by hand would be intense.

Is there a way to automatically set the page title through the Catalog Merge step, or am I stuck with going through Tools > Web Page Options > Page Title?

Help greatly appreciated.
 
Please bear in mind that Publisher is a desktop publishing program, not a website design application. Why are you trying to use a butter knife as a screwdriver?

As said, its a pretty simple website...a really big website...but very simple. I just want to find a way to generate the pages with titles that correspond to their content, not the "blank" they keep getting.

As for the butterknife/screwdriver...1) I have a butterknife, I do not a screwdriver, (2) even if it isn't pretty, it really ought to do the trick McGyver style.
