I would like to know if there is a way to copy one's color settings from one document class to another.
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Copying color settings
I would like to know also, since I may be setting up multiple machines.
You would think support would be monitoring this!

Re: Copying color settings
Forrest, what you want is a completely different thing.
Go to Help/Help Topics/Content/How To.../Customize Settings/Transferring between PCs
John Rey, I don't think there is an easy way.
One possible (though not tested) way might be:
Do this at your own risk!!!
Save your registry!!!
close all textpads
Open regedit
goto key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Helios\TextPad 4\Document Classes
Open the document class with the colors you want to copy
copy the content of the "colors" entry
Open the document class where you want the colors to "paste"
paste into the content of the "colors" entry

Re: Copying color settings
This seems to work for me:
- Change the "Default" document class colors to whatever you want.
- Make sure "Apply these settings to all document classes" is checked in the root of the tree for "Default"
- OK the new settings
- Close and re-open TextPad
When I did this the colors seemed to have propogated to all the other document classes.

P.S. I've just switched from CodeWright to TextPad and although it isn't quite as customisable, overall I'm finding it a much better editor - and for $250 odd less cash too!
