How to change "Select a content category >>" text

[joel_chang]

Hi folks,

I really appreciate the support community, as I did deeper and deeper into the produce I've seen the same handful of names pop up across the board! Thanks for all your help!

I was wondering how to change the "Select a content category>>" text that displays in a traditional skin next to your content categories upon generation. Specifically this:

Is there a way to edit the text? Mine are focused on government levels and I'd like to make it easier for users.

Thanks! Happy New Year!

Hi there

I believe you do it as follows:

Click File > Project Settings.

Ensure the General tab has focus.

Click the Advanced... button.

Click the LNG File tab.

Scroll the list to the [WebHelp] section.

Locate the item that reads: ContentCategoryList=Select a content category.

Click on it to select it.

Click the Edit button.

Change the text following the equals sign it to what you want it to read.

ContentCategoryList=Change this text

Press Enter to accept the change.

Click OK to dismiss the dialogs.

Generate and test!

Hope this helps... Rick

@ Captiv8r thanks! Do you know if I can change the font here as well? It doesn't match up with the rest of my page. Or would that be done in the skin editor? I'd rather not make a skin as all our other helps use the traditional view... zzzzzzzzzz...

I'm not aware that the font for the dropdown can be changed.
