Set a Document Title

In addition to the filename and any headings in your document, Word documents also have a formal document title saved as part of their metadata. Screen readers may announce this title when opening a document, and it may appear in other places as well. Before you share a document with others, be sure to set the document title.

1. Select “File” in the top menu.
2. Select “Info.”
3. Select “Properties” and then “Advanced Properties.”
4. Select the “Summary” tab.
5. Enter a value for “Title.”

On Mac, follow these steps:
