Custom feature types question

Hello,
I created quite a few vector area types deliniating different types of habitat using the following process. Configure -> Area Styles -> New Type
Each of the new types has its own unique attributes.
Is there a way to export these area types (with their attributes) so that my colleague can use them on her machine as she digitizes the same raster data? I tried right clicking on the Area Types and Saving to file, but when she opened the file it displayed "Zero types disabled" and did not display any of the custom area types.
Currently when she opens my .gmw files none of my vector areas display and she is only able to view the raster data.
We are both using GM version 13.2 64bit
Thanks in advance!

You might also consider using Global Mapper Package files as they contain all of the actual data and types so are completely portable. You can export those under the File->Export menu.

Thanks for your (as usual!) rapid reply. I saved a .gm_style file as you advised and then opened it on her machine. The feature types were added to her list of area features, and the styles (border color and fill) are correct, but all of the attribute data is missing. Are the attributes transferrable?
I also noticed that when I open one of my .gmw files on her machine, all of mycustom feature types display with the correct attribute data, but when I try to create new area features (from my custom types) none of the attribute data is present. We could just enter the attributes for each custom feature type on her machine, but are trying to avoid that since it was rather time consuming. What would you advise we do?
Thank you!
