So, what you need to do is set up ALL the rooms the way you want them, and then exit the program. That will save your own personal layout automatically, meaning that all rooms will be just like you last left them. If you do this, you should never need to explicitly load a layout again. Of course, just like you back up the data on your hard drive, it might be a good idea to save your layout once you are sure that you have all of the rooms "just right". Then if anything goes wrong, caused by either you or the program, you can just load that "backup" layout and everything should be restored. jm
