Setting the title of a HTM page from Word by macro 1

[JPJeffery]

Hi

I've recorded an AutoClose() macro to save the document as a web page (.htm) but the macro doesn't record the entry to the Set Page Title dialogue:

Sub AutoClose()
'
' sawp Macro
' Macro recorded 25/08/2006 by Jeff Jeffery
'
    ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="Doc1.htm", FileFormat:=wdFormatHTML, _
        LockComments:=False, Password:="", AddToRecentFiles:=True, WritePassword _
        :="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, EmbedTrueTypeFonts:=False, _
        SaveNativePictureFormat:=False, SaveFormsData:=False, SaveAsAOCELetter:= _
        False
    ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdWebView
End Sub

What gives? Did MS miss a trick?

More to the point, is there a way around this?

The title that is used for the HTMl title bar value is the ActiveDocument.BuiltInProperties(wdPropertyTitle). In other words...it is the title.

So, simple add a title:

ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties("Title") = "The New Title"

If you want of course you could either bring up the SetTitle dialog, or make your own dialog. However, in any case, the title used by a browser is, the title of the file.

That worked first time. Thank you!

Odd that the same code isn't recordable in a macro though...

Actually, there a LOT of things that can not be done, or seen, with the macro recorder. In this case, when you change the title when recording the File SaveAsWeb Page, the only thing actually recorded is the result of the file save. The "manual" title change on the dialog is set, but it is...hmmmm, an internally re-routed procedure, and is not recorded.
