Subject: ExpensePlus LTD

ExpensePlus LTD is a limited version of ExpensePlus, one of the leading Newton software products.  Try it, and youll see why MACWORLD Magazine says Its useful and a real time saver...Entering expenses is a snap...If you use a Newton, ExpensePlus is a good investment.

ExpensePlus LTD is fully functional, with the following exceptions:
 It will accept up to 10 expense slips per expense report.
 There is a maximum limitation of 4 expense reports.
 Sending expense data to a Macintosh or Windows PC is disabled.

The shipping version of ExpensePlus includes Macintosh and Windows communication software and expense report templates for Excel, Lotus 1-2-3 for Windows, FileMaker Pro and Informed.  Templates can be customized to duplicate most existing expense reports.  When you send expense data to a desktop Mac or PC, you select the target application and the target template; the result is a fully complete expense report, ready to file or print.  ExpensePlus prints completed expense reports directly from your Newton, too.

TO INSTALL: 

Download ExpensePlus LTD and use the Newton Connection kit to install it on your Newton. ExpensePlus uses about 260K of memory.

THINGS TO TRY:  

When you use ExpensePlus LTD, be sure to try the following:

 Use the Intelligent Assistant. Turn on "Intelligent Assistant" in the ExpensePlus section of your Preferences.  Enter one or more of the following phrases in your notepad (or calendar, etc.), then highlight it and tap the Assist button. 
    $25 Taxi
    $89.65 Hyatt (or Marriott or Hilton, etc.)
    $67.45 Avis (or Hertz, etc.)
    $15 Pizza
Youll see a partially completed expense slip, ready for you to enter.  Experiment on your own.  ExpensePlus gives Newtons lexicon dictionary a vocabulary of about 200 expense-related words (but not breakfast, lunch or dinner, which are reserved by the Newton calendar.  Use meal instead). The $sign, an amount, and a recognized word are all Newton and ExpensePlus need.  If youre short of system memory (and get out of memory errors), you can turn ExpensePlus's Intelligent Assistance off in Preferences.

 On any expense slip, modify the standard descriptions by tapping the Description diamond.  Record the phrases you use most often, and theyll be ready at a tap.

 Sort expenses by date, category, amount or description, by tapping on the appropriate column heading.

 Analyze your expenses by tapping the Show button and selecting Totals or Subtotals.

 Print a completed expense report directly from your Newton by tapping the routing icon (envelope icon).

 Enter some per-diem maximums in Preferences and ExpensePlus will help you stay on budget.

 Turn on the International Traveler option in ExpensePlus Preferences.  Change the country in an expense slip, and when you enter the slip ExpensePlus will prompt you for an exchange rate.  Exchange rates are stored (and can be edited) in Conversions under the ExpensePlus Show button.

ExpensePlus preferences are with your Newton preferences in your Extras drawer.
