Preview placeholder text

My site is geared to be inclusive of some old-timers, and when they go to insert an image the "lorem ipsum" really throws them. I would really like to replace the text with something like: This is place holder text only, there is an "upload" link at the top of the "Browse Server" window.
Otherwise, their tendency is to go look for Walter Cronkite on channel 5. Possible to find/ replace text in a certain file? The lorem ipsum text appears in several files, but I seem to be missing the one that generates this preview.
Thanks--

You can change it using the config options: http://docs.cksource.com/ckeditor_api/s ... reviewText

Thanks, found the file, uncommented:
config.image_previewText = CKEDITOR.tools.repeat( '___ ', 100 );
No change, added CKEDITOR:
CKEDITOR.config.image_previewText = CKEDITOR.tools.repeat( '___ ', 100 );
What am I missing?
Thanks--

PS, Drupal 7.9 install

Uncommented?

I think that you are trying to do it wrong. You should add that to your config file, not edit anything.
Besides that, using Drupal might mean that it loads some other file for custom settings, I just don't know anything about that.

Re: Preview placeholder text

Thank you very much. My skill level is very limited, but found with Drupal 7 there is a ckeditor.config.js file in the Drupal ckeditor module, seems to overide the config.js file in CKEditor. Added the new config there, problem solved. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
