GENERATOR & ProgId??

[Latitude]

Hi. Recently I noticed that when I selected Page Properties (Custom) that 2
items would appear that we did not knowingly place there. FrontPage2002
creates meta names for these 2 items. These are:

GENERATOR "Microsoft FrontPage 5.0"
ProgId "FrontPage.Editor.Document"

Several questions:
Why are these here?
What is the benefit to us by having these 2 meta names?
What is the harm in removing them?
Does the word 'generator' need to be capitalized? What happens if you make
it lower case? Should other variables be capitalized? Why or why not?

Thanks, Cecil

1. FP has always insert these 2 lines.
2. It allows Office applications to know which Office app created the
page/file.
3. If you remove them, FP will put them back in most case.
4. Personally, I wouldn't worry about them or there capitalization, etc.
