IMPORTANT! If you wish to keep any of your custom vocabulary in a particular User Area, make sure you do not select that area to load a new overlay into All vocabulary that is stored in the User Area you select 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. http://www.prentrom.com/support/article/1793
