colors showing while typing

[Dawn]

How do i toggle the colors to show up as soon as i open the html or java?? I've already looked at preferences and all the colors are set up, but i cannot find the toggle switch to have them show up in the document. This makes editing a lot easier when you aren't staring at all black characters.

I had to reinstall after the other computer totally died and I guess i forgot how to set that up!

Am I missing something simple?? I've looked everywhere and there is no mention of it in the help file.

Thanks,

Dawn

Under:
Configure/
.. preferences/
.. .. Document Classes/
.. .. .. (Document type you want to use)/
.. .. .. .. syntax <-- here you need to specify a syntax definition file for the type,
and check the box that says "Enable syntax highlighting"
