Configure Menu for Syntax Colouring Missing?

Post by sabedard »

I'm trying to get files to load up the correct syntax colouring. Currently most files I open pull up the incorrect highlighting. e.g. if I open up a .php file the default syntax is html.syn.

Reading the first faq under http://www.textpad.com/support/faq/config.html the instructions suggest to "From the Configure menu, choose Preferences." However, in my Textpad 5.3.1 I don’t see a configure menu. All I see across the top is File, Edit, Search, View, Tools. Macros, Window, Help.

How to do I set up textpad to select the correct syntax highlighting automatically when I open files instead of forcing me to open up the document properties and select manually each time?

Thanks!
