This works well if you never edit the dwt again. I did. Now I have to put the
titles back into 47 documents. Is there a way to keep the titles in existing
pages from being replaced with 'Your Default Title' when updating the
template?
Then the coding must not have been correct .. can we see the site? or the
code your using? This works for me, so something must be wrong, did you for
example use a third party addon to view and CHANGE your titles?
Read the following.
snipped from
http://www.outfront.net/tutorials_02/fp_techniques/dwt-2.htm
"ATTENTION - I have outlined further information under the below headings
you should pay particular attention to the Head Tags and Scripts if you want
to retain your keywords and description Meta tags and any scripts for each
page.
~ Head Tags ( doctitle )
FrontPage will, by default add the following code to the title tag in Code
View.
<!-- #BeginEditable "doctitle" -->
<title>Page Title Here</title>
<!-- #EndEditable -->
Copy the editable code in Code View and encase it around the Keywords and
Description Meta tags, it should look like the following.
<!-- #BeginEditable "doctitle" -->
<title>Page Title Here</title>
<!-- #EndEditable -->
<!-- #BeginEditable "keywords" -->
<meta name="KEYWORDS" content="site keywords here">
<!-- #EndEditable -->
<!-- #BeginEditable "description" -->
<meta name="DESCRIPTION" content="site description here">
<!-- #EndEditable -->
This will preserve keywords and descriptions you ALREADY have in place on
your pages. If you want to change your title, keywords or descriptions you
can right click on the page and choose Page Properties or go to Code View
and do it manually.
WARNING: With a page that has a DWT attached you must not use FrontPage Meta
Tag addons to APPLY your tags, as they will change the editable regions
coding of the meta tags and the FrontPage DWT will assume you are trying to
change this and ask you to save or restore. You want to in fact keep your
original code with the editable meta tags around the meta's. Of course you
can use the Addons as a tool and copy and paste meta tag to code view or in
page properties General Tab for each Meta. The developers know about this
problem and are working to provide updates."

Tip now out is: Do you know how to Sort Text In A Table with FrontPage?
http://frontpage-tips.com/ - FrontPage Tips
They are primarily for FrontPage 2003 but will be good
for earlier versions too.
