Can't set page title

FrontPage 2003 SP1.

In the folder list, I right click on the .dwt, select Properties. The Title
field says "New Page 1". I change it to "General Info" (or anything else);
click OK, then save the page and close FrontPage. (Also tried Apply, then
OK - same problem).

Re-open the dwt in FrontPage and select Properties again and the Title is
still "New Page 1".

1. How do I get the Title to change?

If I open a page in FrontPage that has the dwt attached to it, right click
on it in Folder List, select Properties, the Title field (and most of the
other fields) are greyed out (I can't key in them).

2. How do I get a different Title for each page that has a dwt attached to
it?

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.

The default when creating a DWT is for the <title> tag to be enclosed in an
editable region, specifically:
<head>
....
<!-- #BeginEditable "doctitle" -->
<title>New Page One</title>
<!-- #EndEditable -->
....
</head>

The <title> in a DWT is not relevant, since it will be replaced by the
<title> in any pages it is applied to - but it must be in an editable region
for this to be possible. When the title is in an editable region, you can
use Page Properties to edit it.

FYI, I also place keywords and description meta tags in the same editable
region.

Thanks Ron. Looks like I deleted the doctitle Editable Region by mistake -
a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing!
