Correct. You have to manually copy over each setting one at time.

This is built this way so that it is "possible" to do copies of individual things but very hard to copy a whole book. Once the data is in a .user file you could give it to anyone in the world that has a copy of HL and they can use it.

But LW still wanted to provide a means, albeit one that takes some work, to make changes to individual Things if you wish.
