XCLN: Cannot Change Subject Field of Posted Word Document

• Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client, version 4.0
• Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client, version 4.0
• Microsoft Exchange Windows 95/98 client, version 4.0

SUMMARY

When you post, or drag and drop, a document into a Microsoft Exchange Public Folder, the Subject field is changed to the document name. Once this is done, the Subject field cannot be changed except by re-posting with a different file name.

WORKAROUND

Use the Title field in Word for Windows by choosing Properties from the File menu and add this field to the default view of a Public Folder by choosing Columns from the View menu in the Microsoft Exchange client and adding Title. You will now be able to open the Word document, go to Properties, fill in the Title property, and save the document back into the Public Folder.
