- Save the file to a location on your computer.
- Import the syntax highlighting by selecting Language > User Defined Language > Define your language...
- In the dialogue box, select Import:
- Navigate to the Notepad++ syntax highlighting xml file and select it. Click 'Open'.
- Close any open TUFLOW control files (.tcf, .tgc, .tbc, .ecf).
- Restart Notepad++.

- Select "TUFLOW" as the User Language and select "Remove".
- Restart Notepad++ before loading the new syntax highlighting file.
