How to Change Project Name That Displays on Web Browser Tabs

[BrianNorman]

Using RoboHelp 7, how can we specify the exact text that displays on web browser tabs for our Webhelp projects?

[Peter Grainge]

You can't, as far as I know.

What appears there on most web sites such as mine is the topic title and that changes as you move from page to page, as does the address bar at the same time. With webhelp you will notice the address bar never changes as the topic is in a frame within the page. Because the address is static, so is the tab.

Hi there

In addition to what my esteemed colleague Peter has advised, have you tried clicking File > Rename Project and changing the name in the field provided?

Hi. I'm using RoboHelp HTML, v. 8.0.1.204. I created an online help project for a new product, and then a few weeks later Product Mgmt changed the product name.  I did the Rename Project command, and it appears to have renamed files correctly. However, when I launch the compiled online help system, the browser tab still shows the old project name. How can I change this?

Hi there

Try clicking File > Project Settings > Project Title?

Cheers... Rick

Thanks so much - that was exactly what I needed to do.  I must have looked everywhere BUT there.
