The Find & Replace function for text can also locate and replace references to graphics files in your entire project. This can be very useful if a graphic that you have used over and over again in your entire project needs to be replaced quickly!
Key Information
This function only replaces the file names in the references to the graphics files in your topics. It does NOT change the actual graphics files or their names!
|
1.Make a note of the exact names of the graphics files you want to find and replace.
2.Select Find & Replace in
3.Select the In Image Filenames option in the Find Where section of the dialog.
4.Use the other options in the dialog to define the scope of your search. See Find & Replace Text in the section for details. |
There is a quicker way to do this if the name of the graphics file you want to replace is not important:
•Just overwrite the original graphics file in your project graphics directory with the updated or different graphic, so that the new graphic is in the same location and has the same name as the old graphic. The two graphics must both have the same format, however! (You cannot use this method to replace a JPG with a GIF graphic, for example.)
•OR copy the graphic to the Windows Clipboard, select the graphic in the Help+Manual editor and press CTRL+V to paste. Help+Manual will ask you if you want to overwrite the graphics file on the disk and it will then be replaced.
Help+Manual always checks the size of graphics when it loads them so this also works with graphics that have different dimensions.
