Thanks, Jeff. I wouldn’t necessarily describe this as a “bug”, in that the program is operating as intended (and documented). The same issue affects Saved Report Configurations, where applying another book’s reports is likely to yield suboptimal results. I can imagine that there are situations where per-user settings would be helpful (e.g. the Account Separator character, which is what got me into this in the first place). If given the option, I would favour the per-book separation of preferences and report configurations with the option of “priming” a newly created book from an existing configuration or accepting a default set.
