Adobe RoboHelp 6 HTML: Multi-Fix It with the Multi-Find and Replace Tool

One of the limitations of Adobe RoboHelp 6 HTML is that you can only open one project Topic at a time. If you need to fix editorial problems in multiple topics, and you don’t want to use another authoring tool like Dreamweaver, you’re stuck opening one topic at a time in the WYSIWYG pane, fixing the problem and then plodding on to the next problem.

Or you can use the RoboHelp’s Multi-File Find and Replace tool, which gives you the ability to change phrases or words for multiple topics in a project–at one time.

Use the Multi-File Find and Replace Tool to Replace One Word with Another

1. Click the Tools button beneath the Project pane



2. Double-click Multi-File Find and Replace tool



The Multi-File Find and Replace options appear.



3. Type the text you’d like to find into the Find area
4. Type your replacement text into the Replace area



5. Click the Browse button
6. Open the folder containing your project and then click OK
   
7. Click the Find button

The project will be searched and any occurrences of the text you specified in the Find area will be found.

8. Click the Replace All button
9. Click OK
10. Click Close
