Working with Expense data on your computer

Working with Expense data on your computer

After you enter your expenses into the Expense application on your handheld and perform a HotSync operation, Palm Desktop software enables you to do any of the following on your Windows computer. See the Palm Desktop software online help for details. This feature is not available on Mac computers.

■Add, modify, and delete your Expense data.

■Organize your Expense data by category, amount, date, type, or notes.

■View Expense data in various formats: List, Large Icons, or Small Icons.

■Record individual expenses in various currencies and display the total in one selected currency type.

■Print Expense reports.

■Transfer Expense data to other applications, such as Microsoft Excel, using the Send command or Export command, and import data in popular file formats.

Displaying the euro on your computer

When you perform a HotSync operation, the euro symbol is transferred to Palm Desktop software like any other piece of data on your handheld. The symbol appears in Palm Desktop software, however, only if you are using fonts that support the euro symbol.

These fonts are part of the operating system on your computer. They do not reside with your Desktop application, and they are not produced by Palm, Inc. For more information, refer to the documentation that accompanies your desktop computer’s operating system.

Printing the euro

Even with operating system support, problems may arise when you print documents that contain the euro. When a font is present on both the printer and the computer, the printer font is used by default to increase printing speed. If the printer font does not include the euro, a box is printed instead of the euro symbol.

You can work around this problem by transferring the expense data to another application and inserting a bitmap image of the euro into the document in the appropriate places, or by not using the printer’s built-in fonts (if allowed).
