snacks. In the previous example, all expense items would be
populated into row/column 4 of the custom Expense Report.

14.

Complete the table.

All of the remaining columns (49–57) in the

table are used to define the column or row number that
corresponds to the description.

15.

Mark a Section for prepaid expenses (yellow column).

If a row in the

map table is for prepaid (company paid) expenses, type a “yes” in
the cell on that Section’s row. Type “no” in all the cells of this
column that do not pertain to prepaid expenses.

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 handheld user
data.

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