Using document summaries

You can use document summaries to record information about documents, such as title, subject, author, keywords, and comments. If you publish a document to the Internet, the summary information is transferred to the corresponding fields in the Web document.

You can customize a document summary by hiding or displaying specific fields.

You can also automate a document summary in several ways; for example, you can set WordPerfect to prompt you to create a document summary whenever you save or close a document.
