- README.TXT FOR ATARIWORKS INVOICE TEMPLATES 7/29/93
-
- The Templates INV_FORM.STW and INVOICE.STS were created for my security
- electronics business. They may be used with appropriate changes of
- letterhead and address for almost any business that uses standard forms
- for invoicing. No great pains have been taken to "dress it up". I
- think it looks just fine the way it is but feel free to make whatever
- changes you like.
-
- To use these templates copy them to your AtariWorks folder, start Works
- and OPEN the file INV_FORM.STW. Input the invoice number, sold to, date
- and other data. Use the cursor keys or mouse to navigate. Do NOT use
- the RETURN key. When the data fields are completed select OPEN under
- the File menu then select the spreadsheet icon and OPEN the file
- INVOICE.STS. Using the down arrow on the slider bar get down to the
- entry marked TAX. Select the D column immediately to its right and
- the formula for tax calulation will appear on the edit bar at the top
- of the screen. Press the SPACEBAR one time, backspace over the default
- tax rate, enter the tax rate for your area and press RETURN. Go back to
- cell A2 and begin enterring your data. When you have finished data
- entry click on All Cells under the Select menu then click on Copy as
- Metafile under the Edit Menu. Click on Activate Document under the
- Window menu and select INV_FORM.STW if not already selected and click
- on OK. You will now be back to your invoice form. Place your cursor
- on the second line below the Terms: field then click on Paste under the
- Edit menu. Your invoice is now ready to be printed. Adequate space
- has been left at the bottom of form to allow enterring "ORIGINAL",
- "Copy n of n" or your favorite threat.
-
- With AtariWorks we have a program with tremendous power. When the
- powers in Sunnyvale release version 2.0 we may have a program that blows
- integrated packages on other platforms out of the water. I also use
- GeoWorks 2.0 on the Messy DOS platform and can only say that AtariWorks
- is easier to use and faster on my 1040STE w/4mByte than GeoWorks is
- on my wife's 386SX-33 w/2mByte. GeoWorks beats out AtariWorks on the
- number of functions it performs (it has a full on bitmap and vector
- graphics program) and its ability to perform as an operating environ-
- ment but can't match the ease of use I get with NeoDesk 3 and Atari-
- Works. If Atari can add a good telecom function, an .IMG and .GEM
- graphics editor and an intelligent printer spooler to AtariWorks they
- will have a package that will make users of other platforms sit up
- and take notice.
-
- Please feel free to modify my humble templates. I'm sure they can
- be improved or made even easier to use.
-
- UPLOAD, UPLOAD, UPLOAD your templates. There's a lot of us out there
- creating things that others can use. UPLOADS ARE FREE so lets see
- some of yours.
