Hi there. I have a web page http://whatever/mypage.jsp?docId=asdf
When I download the file is ok but if I try to open in the same window and
save the document I can't get the name of the file. Instead of the name I
get "mypage" name for the document.

Is there any way to tell to the document the name that it has to use to
save the document?

Thanks.

Hi Jose,

What version of Word are you using and what
are the steps you're following to open the document
in Word then save it?

Do you have a real URL example where you're seeing this?

I'm using WORD 2002. Sorry but the application is in a private LAN.

The steps to recreate the content are these.

1. I ask to a servlet for a document.
2. It search the document and return it with the correct name but in the
URL you have something like this mypage.jsp?docId=asdf.
3. click in open (I have word integered in the navigator so it opens the
doc in the navigator).
4. I try to save the document with save as and I get a name like mypage
instead of the real name of the document.

Thanks.

" Instead of the name I get "mypage" name for the document."

Between the <head></head> lines at the beginning of the page, there is a
section <title></title> of which you may insert any name you choose.

You may either find a most difficult way to change "meta tags" with Word
html (In MS-Front Page you may also modify meta tags by seleclting page
properties and CUSTOM and thereby inserting your meta tags manually) OR

You may simply open your crappy-Word-created html page with any text edit
the "title" meta tag.
