Your option to not put boxes around individuals and Colour text and boxes are mutually exclusive. To have coloured boxes you have to turn on the boxes around individuals. If you turn off boxes the report will be in black text only.
You can customize the text colour by right clicking on the boxes in the custom colour screen where you choose the colour text and boxes to be used but each box has to have its text colour set individually. Those text colours are only used with coloured boxes so if you turn off boxes you cannot have coloured text. You do not say how the report looks when you preview it although you do say "When I preview the report it is as I would like to see it.". Are there boxes or not? Are they coloured? Having said that however I did test your assertion that the saved settings were not working. I set up and saved a pedigree chart with settings to use both boxes and colours. I then closed the pedigree chart, reopened it and used reset to set the chart to default settings. With the defaults the chart used boxes but no colours. I also set up, previewed and saved another setting file for a chart without boxes. I then loaded the saved chart settings for the coloured boxes and when I previewed the report the chart did use boxes and colours. If I then loaded the saved file for the chart without boxes a preview of the report did not use boxes.
