Change the title for a web-based presentation
You can change text that appears at the top of a
viewer’s Web browser when you create online
presentations by changing the title bar text. The title
bar appears at the top of the browser window, and
helps users identify the page that they are viewing.
Note, too, that title text also appears in the tab for
programs that support tabbed browsing.
Page titles should be descriptive enough to give
viewers context for what page they are on, but not
so long that that they take effort to read. Most Web
site visitors glance quickly at page titles to make
sure that they are on the right page, but do not
spend time studying them.
Page titles can draw attention to important
messages. For example, if your presentation is
promoting a new product or service, you can include
special characters, such as !, *, or # in the page title
to draw attention to it or include information about
the sale in the page title. Because this information
appears in the user’s browser, it is another good way
to communicate a message to viewers of your online
presentation.
1 Click the Office button.
2 Click Save As.
The Save As dialog box appears.
3 Select the folder in which you
want to save the online
presentation.
4 Click here and select either Single
File Web Page or Web Page.
5 Click Change Title.
The Set Page Title
dialog box appears.
6 Type the page title.
7 Click OK.
The Set Page Title
dialog box closes.
8 To continue publishing,
follow Steps 4 to 10
* PowerPoint publishes the presentation
with the specified title on the browser
title bar and in the current tab.
Did You Know?
Page titles are also used
when viewers switch
from program to
program by pressing
Alt+Tab. Text length is
limited in the program
switching dialog box, so
you should make sure
that page titles are not
too long.
Try This!
If you have multiple
browser windows open
and then click the
Windows taskbar to see
what browser window
you want to switch to,
the page title appears.
This space is limited, so
be sure to limit page
title length.
Did You Know?
Because some Internet
search engines use page
titles to help users
search for Web content,
use page titles that
utilize key words by
which users may search.
