Don, if you carefully use Explorer to open one of your Mark files (*.mar)
with Notepad you'll see the tons of Settings it copies. Scanning mine
lightly I didn't take the time to see if what was copied also copied
'everything' found in the Menu dropdown lists.
Once I got everything in Guide8 set the way I wanted I saved a Mark so I can
change something or make a goof then click on my backup Mark to return
everything back to the way I wanted it. If you want to change something,
load your backup Mark, make the change and save is as another Mark...joe :)
Here's mine;
