If you are certain that it is not hard wired into the Act_Primary or some other custom variant of it, then maybe it is added by use of a custom property, so take a look in Design | Options and the custom property values to see if the text is in there somewhere, or if this only appears in a particular section and its sub-sections, look in the top-most section's custom properties that the text starts to appear within

hey,

What do you mean by hard-wired? i thought all this texts are type in at the template? I don't quite understand..
please guide. Thank you.

If it is hard wired into the templates, then go into Advanced | Template Manager | Main and Primary button to launch that template and then do a search for a small extract of the text you are looking for...... If you find the text, then hey presto.......

If the text is not in the template itself, then it is most likely a custom property marker with the text actually entered somewhere within your software custom properties fields, which could be in Design | Options | Defaults and one of the custom properties in the list provided....

If it is not in the default custom properties, then maybe it resides in a separate file which is being drawn into the templates at generation time...

Oh no, i really have no idea where this things are.. maybe, you can look at the website and you will understand what i am referring. That box which has "Join our newsletter and forum now and get 12 free Mother of pearl buttons at your next purchase!". I want to edit those words in that box.
Please help. Thx.

The text you seek is actually an image at http://www.hst.com.sg/acatalog/newsletter.jpg
You'll need to edit this image.

images are normally located in the site1 folder or what ever this folder has been named to, using you picture editor look in actinic/sites/ and the folder name will be the one you looking for. in here you should find the image

Cheers

If a file in in Advanced / Additional file then it's location is relative to your Site folder (usually C:\Program Files\Actinic Ecommerce v6\Sites\Site1 ). So if you just see the file listed that's where it is.

If you're still unsure you could use Windows Search command Start / Search to locate it for you.

How is this done?

Does anyone knows how to change the image box to a "tooltipbox"? and in actinic, where do they set their font in? please guide, thank u =)

If you want to add tool-tips to an image, you need to find the HTML tag for the image. This will look like

<img src="newsletter.jpg" width="85" height="140">

and will probably be in the Act_Primary.html template in Actinic. You need to add an 'alt=' parameter into the HTML i.e.

<img src="newsletter.jpg" width="85" height="140" alt="Here is some tool-tip text that you will see when you move your mouse over the image">

In Actinic, the default font is normally set in the grid in 'Design | Options | Site Defaults' - in the row that begins 'ACTCSSFONTFAMILY'.
