Set Page "Title" Property in DWT-Based Site?

How do we set the "Title" property on individual pages of sites built with
DWTs?

I'm building a site for a non-profit that has about 60 pages, all rather
static content. I created empty pages, and applied one of two DWTs (one for
the home page, another for "inside" pages.) I manually edited all the
Titles. I later modified the "inside" DWT and allowed it to update the
attached pages. All the changes I had made to the titles were undone; the
titles were all set to what I then discovered was the title of the "inside"
DWT.

I deleted the Title property on that DWT, and again updated. Now all the
page titles are their file names (content.htm, etc.)

How do I set the Title properties for the individual pages? If I open each
page, the Properties are greyed out. in Folder List view the Title field
appears editable, but changes I make there don't have any effect.

Thanks in advance for any help in untangling this.

The default for a new DWT is to set the <title> tag in an editable
region. This means that any new page will get the title from the DWT,
but existing pages will retain whatever <title> they already have -
and the tags are editable on every page.
On the DWT you need something like this in the <head> section:
<head>
<!-- #BeginEditable "doctitle" -->
<title>Default title for new pages</title>
<!-- #EndEditable -->


</head>

You can also insert editable regions for keywords and description meta
tags in the same way.
 
Thank you!
