    Expense Master is a computerized version of a Travel Expense Report that
 many of you use for your business, all the time.  This Lotus 1-2-3(tm)
 compatible spreadsheet template is superior to the paper version because it
 does all the math for you -- all you have to do is enter all your receipts.
 Expense Master does the rest.  Print out a copy and you're all set.  (Of
 course you do have to give a copy to your boss to get reimbursed.)

    Using Expense Master is very easy:

      Enter your name in cell B7.

      Enter your title in cell B8.

      Enter the starting and ending dates of your trip in cells B9 and B10.

      Enter a description of your trip in cells B11-B13.
           (You can use the whole width of the screen.)

      You are now ready to enter your expenses:
           All you have to do is enter the total amount of each type of expense
           for each day into the appropriate cells.  (You may have to do some
           addition here if you have multiple expenses of the same type for the
           same day.)

           Expenses that don't fit into one of the categories should be entered
           into cells B41-H41 and also in cells A52-A60 (complete the
           description, date, amount, and any necessary comments to justify
           it as a business expense.)

      Enter the amount of the expenses charged on the company credit card
           in cell I45.

      Enter the amount of cash advanced to you by the company in cell I46.


    That's it!  Expense Master will automatically figure out how much the
 company owes you.  Unless of course, you spent less money than you were
 advanced.  In this case, Expense Master will tell you how much you owe the
 company.

    You can now Save and Print your Travel Expense Report.  I suggest using a
 name like "Expenses.###" (where "###" represents the number of this expense
 report) as the title.

   Special note for trips longer than 7 days:
           If your trip was longer than 7 days, don't fill out the Company
           Credit Card Charges and Cash Advanced cells.  Instead select the
           whole Expense Master spreadsheet, Copy it, select cell A64 (the
           first cell on page 2), and Paste it to create a new Expense Master
           page.  Then copy the Total Expenses from cell I44 of page 1 into
           cell I79 on page 2 and fill out page 2 the same way as page 1.
           You can repeat this as many times as you need to for long trips.
