￿About NeatReceipts Professional

If you are buried in a pile of receipts as you read this,

NeatReceipts Professional will help you climb out.

features the Receipt Organizer, which is used to organize receipts and finances, the Business Card Organizer, which is

used to quickly extract and organize contact information from business cards, the Tax Organizer, which is used to group tax-related receipts

for tax preparation, and the Document Organizer, which is used for saving non-financial papers such as warranties and recipes.

￿About this User Guide

This user guide has been carefully designed to help you install and use the program quickly and easily. It’s written in a conversational tone to put you at ease. [Insert deep breath here.] At times, you may even be slightly amused. Don’t let this worry you -- it doesn’t mean you can’t take us seriously; it just means that we’ve read a few manuals ourselves and know how overwhelmingly indecipherable and boring they can be. Our program is different, and so is our manual.
