Changing button text in RH7 Skin

Hi! I'm using RH HTML 7.0.

I'm creating bilingual online help (English and French) and am wondering how I can change the text of the navigation buttons (i.e. Contents, Search, etc.) in the skins. All I was able to do is add text next to the buttons but not change the names of the buttons themselves.

Are the buttons images that need to be edited?

Thanks for your help!

Hi there

As you see, the skin allows a combination of text and images for the buttons. Indeed many of the skins have the text that is part of the button image. In that case you need to use an image editor or button creator utility to modify the text that is part of the button image.

Cheers... Rick

That's what I was afraid of... I checked the LNG tab in the Project Settings and there wasn't anything for button text. Oh well.

Thank you!

Have I missed something? You want the Contents button to have different text, correct? So why doesn't changing the text in the skin editor work for you?
