I'm creating webhelp by importing word document. My help is in two languages and yes i have two word documents. To keep the html filenames same for every same topic in english and arabic. I change the file names. Now i want save this setting for the project so while importing the documents again I should be able to reuse this changing filenames. So that it can be life saver for me by not repeating to change the filenames again.

If I have understood you correctly, you need to use two ISF files with different settings. It is not too obvious how to do that but the process is described on my site under Importing Word Docs.

Sorry for not making my question in vivid manner. Let me tell you my steps

1. I imported the word document and also did pagination on heading1 and heading2 ( I have to create context sensitive help)

2. I changed the .htm filenames using Topic Properties Dialog Box ( I saw it takes filesnames from heading text)

3. I have to give same filenames for the topic that I have given in another language for this topic. ( I have to keep filename same as a naming convention)

4. Now I want to save this setting so that next time I import the document I should not change the filename again

During import you can set things up so that filenames are created according to a formula. However what you want is to be able to create your own filenames and that cannot be done and saved.

It sounds as if you are repeatedly importing the two documents in the two languages. Would you not be better served by using Linking?
