Where is the text for the Index and Search tabs saved?

Question

This question is specifically about RoboHelp 9 -- although the answer may be the same for other versions.

I'm wondering, when WebHelp is created, where does it get the text it uses in the Index and Search tabs?

Specifically, what I'm looking for (and want to change), is the text in the Index tab that reads, "Type in the keyword to find:" and text in the Search tab that reads, "Type in the word(s) to search for:"

I suspect both these phrases are in a .lng file somewhere, and that file just needs to be edited...

Any ideas?

The .lng file Colum mentioned can be accessed more easily by going to File > Project Settings > Advanced button > LNG tab

On the LNG tab you will see most all of the default labels for various items. It's better to work here on the source LNG rather than trying to modify the WebHelp output which will eventually be overwritten the next time you generate.

Hi folksMost everyone involved in this thread can safely ignore what I'm about to say. I'm about to post a response that will be helpful for others that discover this thread down the road while searching.Note the subject line is "Where is the text for the Index and Search tabs saved".And upon reading the initial post that started the thread, I was thinking what was meant was the text that actually read "Index" and "Search" and that was what they wanted to change.So if you find this thread in the hopes of seeing information about how to change that text, you need to know that it may exist in a few different places. Certainly one of the places is the LNG file that has been discussed at length prior to my posting this. But keep in mind that WebHelp is often Skinned. And when you are using a Skin, those tabs or buttons you see may be presenting actual text or they may be presenting images that have the text "Index" or "Search" as part of the image that is used. And if that's the case, you will need to create substitute images that read as you want them to. Then point to those images using the WebHelp Skin editor.Cheers...
