I would like to highlight text and save it such that when I open the document again at a later time I can simply scroll to my highlighted area to make changes. Does anyone know if this is this possible and how do I do it if it is?
Thank you

Thank you for the quick response,
Now I see I can only highlight 1 section or area at a time. I have certain files I use to configure SIP Phones and there are several areas in the file I need to change the values of.
These are rather lenghty txt files and becomes a pain to do find or scroll to each area.
It would be nice if I could color code these areas to find them quickly.
Any way of doing this by chance?
Thanks again.

Some ideas:
- I guess you could make some macros to jump to the line numbers you want.
- You could break the file into parts, so that the bits you change are in files by themselves, then run a little batch file to join them back together after editing.
- In fact, you could probably write a batch file to ask you for the values you need to change, then assemble the file using those values. No need for Notepad++ then.

You could write a script to find and replace certain sections, which would only leave you to adjust the "replace" fields/terms for each specific situation. This is more or less a batch processing, but using Notepad++ and its Plugin capabilities.
You can find the Simple Script Plug-In on the Notepad++ Plugins download page:
Turn on saving of session(s). Notepad++ will remember the selection made in the document, the kind of selection (lines or block/columns) and the part of the document currently shown. If you make a selection in the visible part Notepad++ will show you just the same again after start-up.
Menu_____ : Settings
Option___ : Preferences...
Tab page_ : MISC
Option___ : Remember the current session for next launch (check this)
The option is in the bottom left corner of the MISC page, just above the Close button.
In this case "highlighting" means selecting.

Or perhaps the Simple Script Plug-In can be of help to you.
