RH9, RH Server 9, IE8, WebHelp Pro
In Project Settings > Project Title we have the label we want the users to see in the WebHelp output browser title bar.
However, in the browser the displayed title in the top browser bar is different from what we have in the Project Settings > Project Title. How do we change this?
The Project Title in Project Settings > Project Title is Myproject
In the server output, the browser bar shows:
http://Myproject-test/robohelp/robo/server/general/projects/Myproject/Temp_Project_for_Myproject.htm
At one time we had the project named "{Temp_Project_for_Myproject" but we have changed it and we can't get rid of the old name in the output.
Any ideas?

Hi there
Wading into some unfamiliar waters here. I seem to recall that for WebHelp Pro, you have a Window definition. Have you tried looking there?
View > Pods > Project Set-up. Expand the Windows category and double-click the Window definition you should see there.
Cheers... Rick

Does changing the Project Name in the dialogs where you generate the help affect what displays.
If not, hopefully one of the WebHelp Pro users will step in.

Yes, Rick is quite right. (he's just quicker at posting than me!) I tested on WebHelp Pro and what he shows is reliable. Just make sure you select the Custom "Window Name" from the Default Window dropdown on the WebHelp Pro Options dialog when generating and publishing.
Also be careful not to confuse the Project Name field (top of screenshot) with what should appear in the Title Bar (This threw me too!) That can have an unintended consequence of actually publishing your project to the server twice because the Project Name has changed!
I admit, this is not at all intuitive because regular WebHelp (not Pro) behaves quite differently. It used to be that what appeared in the browser title bar was defined in the File > Project Settings > Project Title. Now, in RoboHelp 9 it is WebHelp Settings > Title Bar. So the fact that this changes yet again for the Pro flavor is admittedly confusing. I will raise this with the Adobe team and see if this can be sorted out in a more consistent way in the next release.

Thanks for this, but in a way I am sorry to hear this because I have not been able to resolve the issue we discussed last week regarding the new custom window that does not take effect. So this is apparently connected to that. Still working on it.
I wonder if anyone knows of a specific project file that I can manually edit to correct whatever the issue is.

In RH HTML 8, Im facing the same problem in my WebHelp Pro and WeHelp output formats. I have renamed the Project Title from the Project Settings dialog box and changed the Window Caption.
In the HTML output, the tab name got changed. However, the HTML link didn’t change. For example, HTML link displays: \ABC_onlinehelp.htm
Where, I want it to look like: \ABC_User_Guide.htm
Please let me know how to change the HTML output file name.
Else, I have to create a project from the scratch by importing the HTML files.

Hi there
To change that, you modify what is in this field:

Thanks Rick,
Your suggestion worked well for all output format except the WebHelp Pro.

Hi there
Are you using RoboHelp Server and publishing content to it? If not, you don't care!
If so, someone more versed in that particular dark art will have to help. I don't use it and can't say what you need to do.

Hi, tosujoy.
Following up on Rick's comment with regard to WebHelp Pro. Are you using Adobe RoboHelp Server? If so, which version?
Again, as Rick said, if you are not using RoboHelp Server, WebHelp Pro is not a proper option in the first place.
Unlike plain WebHelp where you can "View Results" locally, WebHelp Pro requires that you actually publish the project and view it from a RoboHelp Server installation to get a 100% true sense of what it will look like.

Thanks Rick & John, I appreciate both of your assitance.
Im not using RoboHelp Server. I understand the technical req. for WebHelp Pro. Now, Im switching to WebHelp or FlashHelp output for my current project.
