UPDATE INFORMATION FOR VERSION 1.65
Several slight changes have been made to the new version 1.65 of
the I'M NO ACCOUNTANT (TM) templates:
* The templates now conform to ASP standards.
* The sign-on delay has been shortened from 15 seconds to 2 seconds.
The program pauses one second at the ASP screen and one second at
the liability screen. The user must press the ENTER key to
proceed beyond the copyright screen.
* The shareware version contains JOUR1, the single business
template, and now also JOUR10, the template for up to 10
businesses with one checking account. However, the
addition of the business number for keeping track of various
businesses with one checking account requires that you enter
additional information. For the fastest operation, use JOUR1.WK1
for your accounting needs.
* TRANSACTION PAYMENT: After the first check number is entered, the
number is stored. On following payment screens, the check number
field is automatically filled with the next consecutive check
number. Overwrite the field if necessary. Enter a single quote
mark (') for a non-check transaction. Also, if you want to
include a voided check, just enter the check number and then a 0
in the amount field.
* TRANSACTION SALARY: The salary option can also be used for
commissions. It may be helpful to use the employee first or last
name rather than the social security number as the employee ID.
For each employee ID, the EXTRACT INPUT command can be used to
generate annual or monthly summaries. Salaries or commissions are
not associated with a business number in JOUR10.
* TRANSACTION RECONCILE: After reconciling the bank statement with
the deposits and expenses, the current bank balance will be shown
on the reconciliation screen, even when there are no outstanding
checks.
* TRANSACTION BOTTOM: A new command "BOTTOM" has been added to the
transaction menu. Selection of this command positions the
spreadsheet at the bottom of the transaction journal, in the
column showing the current bank balance.
* JOURNAL BALANCE: If unknown account numbers are found while
trying to balance the accounts, they will be displayed at the
bottom of the screen. If there are more than two, enter the 1-2-3
READY mode to view the next page down. This routine will also
list labels, which are assumed to be employee names. All employee
names and unknown account numbers will be printed with the
printout commands. The verification screen actively identifies
mismatched account balances.
* JOURNAL MODIFY EXPENSE and JOURNAL MODIFY INCOME: Account titles
now appear above account numbers on the input screens. Income
and expense categories may be numbers or names. The names should
be single words with 8 or fewer letters.
* JOURNAL CLEAR: Due to several misprints in the manual, it was not
properly indicated that neither slash (neither / nor \) should be
used in the business name. If at all possible, include only
letters and numbers in the business name. This name is used as
the print title, and some characters have special meaning in the
LOTUS 1-2-3 macros and print header.
* EXTRACT INPUT: This input screen now allows a starting date and
an end date to be entered. If left blank, all entries will be
extracted when there are matching account numbers. If defined, no
entries will be extracted before the starting date, or after the
end date.
* QUIT: This command has been slightly modified to give you a
better prompt. After saving your spreadsheet, a screen will
indicate to you that to exit 1-2-3, the "Y" key should be pressed;
otherwise you should press the "N" key followed by pressing the
ENTER key.
