embed hatch patterns

Using the hatch manager, I follow the instructions to embed patterns in my drawing file. It looks like it works, but when I click on patterns in the drawing file the whole list of patterns still shows up, rather than just the embedded patterns. I'm new to this, but I've gone through the process three times with the same result. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you Joseph. I wasn't able to uncheck that box. I assume maybe that's because I have the LT version?

That very well could be, the comparison chart shows LT has the Hatch Manager.

I do have the hatch manager, and it acts like it's working, but it doesn't embed patterns in the drawing file. And now it seems that some options in the preferences aren't available. Seems odd, but maybe that's just the way it is. I'll contact Support and see what I can find out. Thanks again.
