3.  The User Area you currently are in will be listed in the text area at the top.  If you want a different User Area that already has a default overlay in it, activate the Switch User Area option.

4. Select the Area you want to switch to. You can now use this new Area with the overlay that was already loaded into it.  If you do not see the overlay you want, select a User Area where you have not stored any custom vocabulary;  or select an Area that contains vocabulary you know you won't be using much.  In the next step you can load a new overlay into that Area.

5. To load a different overlay into a  User Area, activate the Overlay Menu option.

6. Select the overlay you want to load into the User Area you selected in step #4.  Blank overlays in the Overlay Menu option do not contain pre-stored vocabulary.

6. You will se a warning box  that says, "Loading a different overlay will erase all stored vocabulary. Do you want to do this?"  If you want o go ahead and load the new overlay, select YES. If you decide not to change overlays, select NO.

 IMPORTANT!   If you wish to keep any of your custom vocabulary in a particular User Area, make sure you switch user areas before loading a new overlay  from the Overlay Menu into that User Area.  All vocabulary that is stored in the User Area you are currently in will be lost when the new overlay is installed! 

You can also perform a Memory Transfer to save a particular Area before loading a new overlay into it.
