Hi,

Can we make mass text changes in the RoboHelp Program?. We want to replace one word with another word.

Thanks

Dhivya

    Hi,

    You can use the Robohelp Multi-File Find and Replace, or use some other find and replace tool. FAR and BKReplace are two of the most popular tools for this.

    Greet,

    Willam

    The two tools Willam mentions are ones that are always recommended and they are good tools. However, be aware they search the HTML and not just what the user sees. So a search on say "body" could pick up a tag. You need to be certain the word will not be found in any HTML, build tags and suchlike.

    FAR I know allows you to see each instance of the word found and then replace it or skip it. You can let it go ahead and blind replace if this problem does not affect you.

    You might also need to do more than one pass if the word could be case sensitive.
