Hi

1 a) in files layout front end view, there is the word files at top of page, how can I can this text please to another word?
  b) same in download details?

Actually it is the text 'Files'  This is defined in the language file in COM_JDOWNLOADS_FE_FILELIST_TITLE_OVER_FILES_LIST

These are defined in the language file.  So the principe would be to use a language override.  If you do decide to change then be very, very careful as the syntax is strict.  This is defined in the language file in COM_JDOWNLOADS_FE_FILELIST_TITLE_OVER_FILES_LISTIn jD3.9 this is changed to Downloads.
2) how can I change the text in the create download form headings and sub headings please?

I do not understand this question

But why do you want to change everything in site! Colin

I have just realised, you have answered this question previously - answer is joomla override as you stated....
thanks answered!
(if I am incorrect, please advise)...

Hi
Yes you can use a Component override  You cannot use the Joomla Language Override
See https://www.joomlashack.com/blog/joomla/overrides/


Just for reference in case there are other strings the search file  <your site>\language\en-GB\en-GB.com_jdownloads.ini Maybe practice backing up and resoting your site first
The strings you need to override are below.  Edit very carefuly  Only change between the " marks and make just text changes do not put in html or css.
COM_JDOWNLOADS_FORM_PREVIEW_FILE_LABEL="Select Preview File"
COM_JDOWNLOADS_FORM_FILE_LABEL="Select Main File"
COM_JDOWNLOADS_EDIT_DOWNLOAD="Edit Download"
COM_JDOWNLOADS_ADD_NEW_DOWNLOAD="Create Download"
