    I want to highlight keywords and keep them highlighted in a document while I'm working on it similar to ms word.
    Is there a way to do that in notepad ++
    Thanks in advance

      Select a keyword you want all occurrences highlighted, then Search -> Mark All  -> Using nth style, where n is between 1 and 5. Repeat procedure for each keyword. You can mix and match styles ast your whim.

      The appearance for each of the 5 available styles can be set from Settings -> Styer Configurator -> Global styles, Mark style 1 (or 2, ..)
