Hi there

There are only two ways I'm aware of to change this.

1. Localize the CHM and run it on a different version of the Windows operating system. For example, if it is run on an Italian version of Windows, the name will still be Index, but will become the Italian version of Index.

2. IF you are using RoboHelp 10, you have a new capability. You may now run a script that will insert WebHelp inside the CHM file. Because of this method, you may change the WebHelp Index to read whatever you want it to read. Then stash it inside the CHM wrapper to obtain what you want.

Cheers... Rick

Hi Rick!

I'm using Rh 11, can you provide me this script (w/instructions)? This is in reference to the Rh CHM Help (not WebHelp) browser - - changing the label name from "Index" to whatever I like (e.g. "Rick").

Thank You!

Hi there

Basically you would create and edit a WebHelp skin so that the Index tab reads as you want. Then in your project, open the Script Explorer pod and run the WebHelp to CHM converter script. That would package the WebHelp inside the CHM.

I don't have RoboHelp 11 in front of me at the moment, but if memory serves, click View > Pods and Script Explorer should be listed.

Cheers... Rick
