Default Meta tags in webpages

You should visit the search engine sites and study what they require and
don't require. These days, the major search engines ignore the keywords
tags. They look for content on the page.

:I have been creating interesting webpages using Word 2003 for some time.
: Several professional web designers pointed out that I do not have any Meta
: name keyword lines in the html.
: After opening the HTML Source, I tried to add lines similar to those I
found
: in other published sites but when I saved the page, Word either totally
: changed the content or removed the lines.
: In searching for an answer, I found on the Microsot site (but cannot find
: again) that the Keyword box in the Properties window in Word will place
: keywords into the HTML. It said that this will satisfy the search engines.
: This does enter meta keywords but it puts them into Document Properties
: rather than the meta area.
: The developers said that search engines (MSM, Google...) will not see the
: keywords entered this way.
: I have been trying to not go outside Word since web-building is not my
area
: of interest.
: Any help out there?
