Euro Assistant Pro Window Overview

The Euro Assistant Pro window lets you enter amounts and calculate currency conversions.

What is in the Euro Assistant Pro window?

Displays

The Euro Assistant Pro window shows one display for each listed currency. Displays are characterized by the associated currency's ISO code and show the associated currency's amount.

The active display is framed: keyboard inputs are directed to it and edit commands act on it. To activate an inactive display, click it. To activate the next (previous) display, press Tab (shift-Tab).

To add a new display, use the Add Currency submenu in the File menu. To remove a display, activate it and choose Remove Currency from the File menu.

To move a display to a different position in the Euro Assistant Pro window, drag and drop its ISO code. To change the currency associated to a display, press the corresponding currency pop-up arrow.

Currency Pop-up Arrows

Each display has a currency pop-up arrow. Press it to pop up the Currencies menu and associate a different currency to the display.

ISO Codes

ISO codes are standardized three-character abbreviations which univocally indicate currencies.

Drag an ISO code and drop it on another ISO code to move the corresponding display to a new position in the Euro Assistant Pro window.

Drag an ISO code associated to a non-zero display to the desktop to create a text clipping with the displayed amount. If you press the option key when you start dragging, the ISO code is also clipped.

Clear all displays and drag the ISO code of the base currency to the desktop to create a text clipping with the exchange (conversion) rates of all currencies listed in the Euro Assistant Pro window against the base currency.

Clear all displays and drag the ISO code of a currency which is not base currency to the desktop to create a text clipping with the dragged currency's exchange (conversion) rate against the base currency.

Drag any ISO code to the Trash to clear all displays.

Notice that thousands separators can be included in all clippings by checking the Include thousands separators in files and text clippings option in the Format pane of the Preferences dialog.

Drop a plain text document or text clipping listing a series of amounts on an ISO code to automatically insert all amounts into the corresponding display, convert them and log the calculated conversions in the tape.

Separators

When several currencies are displayed in the Euro Assistant Pro window, it can be useful to visually divide them into different groups by adding one or more horizontal separation lines.

To insert a separator after the active display, choose Add Separator from the File menu. To remove a separator, activate the display preceding the separator and choose Remove Separator from the File menu.

To move a separator to a different position in the Euro assistant Pro window, drag and drop it.


Iconize Button

Click the Iconize button to iconize Euro Assistant Pro.

Rate Button

The Rate button displays the exchange (conversion) rate of the active currency against the base currency. When the base currency is active, the Rate button indicates the currency is base currency (e.g. "EUR is base currency.").

Click the Rate button to open the Currencies dialog and edit currencies.

Rounding Pop-up Button

The Rounding pop-up button displays the rounding of the active currency. The rounding is bracketed when it is temporarily greater than the one you specified in the Rounding menu or Currencies dialog.

Press the Rounding pop-up button to change the active currency's rounding.
