Question

Yet one more production question: search topics

This might be another pain in the rear question, but I am looking for a way to globally replace text throughout all topics.

Does Robo have a way to search through ALL topics so that I can replace text? (This isn't something right now that can be handled via snippets or variables as the original text is not in a variable or a snippet. We've decided to change some phrasing and I am looking for keywords that I can highlight/find so I can reword the text. I very well may be able to insert snippets or variables during editing, but will want to locate all instances of a particular word or phrase.)

I have about 50 - 60 separate topics in a project and I'd like not to have to eye ball each topic in order to find the string/phrase.

Thanks!

Hi there

RoboHelp does offer a utility called Multi-file find and replace. But it's probably only reliable for single words. If you want something fancier and more robust, consider BK ReplacEm or FAR.
