16.Repeat steps 9 through 15 for each Section that you have defined for your custom Expense Report.

17.Map Expense Report Options dialog (magenta section). The Expense Report Options dialog has five fields where you can fill in data for the header on your expense report. Use this section to specify the row and column on your template where this information will be mapped.

Because header data is not related to any particular Section, you have to fill in only one row. If the item does not appear on your template, leave these cells blank.

Using applications other than Microsoft Excel

You can use applications other than Microsoft Excel (such as Lotus 1-2-3 or Quattro Pro) to open and manipulate the Expense data on your computer. The data file is named “Expense.txt,” and is stored in the Expense folder, within the folder containing the companion user data.

Expense data in the Expense.txt file is in tab-delimited format.

Expense file details

The Expense.txt file contains four groups of data. It will be easier to see these four distinct groups of data if you open the file with a spreadsheet application.

Trips	Shows the number of Expense application
	categories, and lists each one followed by an
	“end” statement.
Currency	Shows how many currencies were used for the
	Expense data, and lists the countries that
	correspond to that currency.
Trip	Shows the number of expenses by category,
	and lists the expenses for each category.
Expenses	Shows the total number of expenses, and lists
	them chronologically.
