      I created a form for a roleplaying game character sheet, and painstakingly styled the backgrounds of certain headers using Search > Style one token. When I saved the file and reloaded it, the coloration was not preserved: the backgrounds were paper-white again.
      How do I persist the colour?

      Here is the debug info from the ? menu option:
      Notepad++ v8.7 (32-bit)
      Build time : Sep 17 2024 - 17:07:51
      Path : I:\Binaries\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
      Command Line : “D:\Documents\TableSmith52\Tables\RuneQuest 3e\RQ3-ChrxGen2.tab”
      Admin mode : OFF
      Local Conf mode : OFF
      Cloud Config : OFF
      Periodic Backup : ON
      OS Name : Windows 11 Home (64-bit)
      OS Version : 23H2
      OS Build : 22631.4317
      Current ANSI codepage : 1252
      Plugins :
      mimeTools (3.1)
      NppConverter (4.6)
      NppExport (0.4)

      Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

        @Richard-Darwin ,

        Please read our FAQ: Notepad++ is a Text Editor, not a Word Processor

          @PeterJones So what is the use case for Style one token if it can’t be saved with the styled text?

            Temporary highlights for use while you are actively reading or editing your textual data.

                You can export (but not import back to N++!) “what you see in N++” to the rich text format (or html) and continue in a WP-SW (WordPad, MS Word etc).
