[oXygen-user] Feature Request: Set Title from Navtitle When Creating New Doc from Map Manager

[Sorin Ristache]

It sounds like a quick and easy way of setting the title in a newly 
created topic file. We will consider it for a future version of the 
Author editor.


Thank you for the suggestion,
Sorin
