You clearly haven't learnt what the difference between 'header' and 'heading' is yet though.
<h1> <h2> etc. are 'heading' tags which determine text styling and should sit within the document <body> tags.
'description' and 'keywords' are 'header' <meta> tags which sit within the <head> tags.
Have a read of this: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_intro.asp

Nowadays search engines don't take much notice of what's in the document header, although the 'description' tag content is often shown in result lists. The textual content of the <body> section is far more important, along with incoming links pointing to and between your web pages. Publisher is not a good tool to be using to make web pages optimal for search engines though - the html it generates is not standards compliant and can even completely obscure the page content which you need to be indexed. It also only provides a limited ability to customise the header tags, although you can achieve this by manually editing the html files which Publisher generates.

I learned recently from Spike that you could apply 'header tags' to text by Format > Style and choosing H1, H2 etc.

You can add a robots.txt file to your root directory manually if you want to use one. Reference: http://www.outfront.net/tutorials_02/adv_tech/robots.htm

Search engine optimization is a complicated and debatable 'art'. Google the subject, 'keywords', 'header tags' etc and decide for yourself as to how important these SEO methods are. Keep in mind though that if you don't have good content it will all be a waste of time.
