Toxaris - I do not use the tabular style editor in settings to change (mainly to add new entries) the rules, I prefer to edit the XML with Notepad++ - FYI I can't use a mouse proficiently due to injuries to my hands... ticking boxes etc in forms is a PITA, its too easy to mistype tabs and spaces.

I think this is the problem. That rebuild step isn't happening. My process is close Word, change the XML file in Notepad++, restart Word and select EpubTools S&R.

To force it I have to delete %APPDATA%\Toxaris\ePUBToolsSRRules.xml, then go into S&R Settings reset the location of my XML file, and then wait for the rebuild - incidentally with no indication that its happening, the add-on sits there like a stunned mullet for several minutes.

And that brings us back to why I asked for a button to force the rebuild - to give me control over what is after all my data.

I have examined the file checksums before and after the change, viz

Code:
CRC32	9e33c408
MD5	9f40d9296e264f1ad97e38a34b63e18f
SHA-1	ce1a2cfe5cc87a620a161e77c62500ee50abdae7
SHA-256	2c225b69e969b5fedb1ec69a1de1e33dc3f6d710b18bdcbdcf669a2948bd46b1

Add a new entry to c:\_miscellaneous\myreplacerules.xml

CRC32	1c63d654
MD5	1f0387bea66c8994d21ae99c95f5b3d6
SHA-1	1d5ea1cad99fe1b5562ca4a3b50fc7e13e1c3c94
SHA-256	3baa0a2d9f83c8c641b139c06ead5b471e180b5a83c2d27b68c405932dd1810c
For some reason the addon is not detecting the change in checksum, where is the checksum of the previous version kept?

Added : I plan on doing some further tests
