walt.farrell Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 The Title is set when you first Save the .afpub file and give it a name. It is not affected by subsequent Saves with new names. If you want to change it, you need to use the Fields panel.

bbc. Posted January 3, 2023 Author Share Posted January 3, 2023 Thanks for your response. It confirms the issue. Seems rather awkward to have to begin every document blank from start, with the final filename locked in, to get this right. Can you please guide me to the Fields panel you mention. I cannot find it anywhere in Publisher. Is there another way I can rename the document title in Publisher? How are Publisher templates treated in this regard?

How are Publisher templates treated in this regard? Choose Window > References > Fields to display the Fields panel. It would be really bad if the document title was changed each time you saved a document with a different name - the document title should not be linked to the file name. For example, my book project document is simply named Book and each of the backups are named Book-20230103.afpub - I wouldn't want that to be the title of a generated PDF. The way Publisher works is similar to most applications. Document title is set to the initial filename and then you can update it manually from that point on.
