How do I run an AppleScript?
Like Mac OS 8.5's Folder Actions, Invoice Builder can execute an AppleScript whenever one of the following occurs:

Open a group
Close a group
Add an invoice to a group

Open an invoice
Close an invoice
Add an entry to an invoice

Before creating an invoice in Word
After creating an invoice in Word

After opening a file
After closing a file
After saving a file

To see how to write these kind of scripts, see the examples that are included in the Invoice Builder folder. To attach one of these scripts to an invoice, group, or format, hold down the "control" key on the keyboard and click the group, invoice, or format (in the Preferences dialog box) and select "Invoice/Group/Format Actions...". Check the appropriate box and select the correct script. To remove a script, follow the same steps, except uncheck the box. For the file actions (Open/Close/Save), click "File Actions" button in the Preferences dialog box.

How do use the rate list?
If you have a set of hourly rates you often use, you can enter them into the rate list for easy access. In any open invoice or group window, click on the popup menu next to the "Rate:" text box. Select "Edit Rate List...". Click "Add" to add a new rate to the list. To automatically insert this rate into any rate text box, select the rate from the popup menu.

How do I use the comment list?
If you have a set of comments you often use, you can enter them into the comment list for easy access. In any open invoice window, click on the popup menu next to the "Comments:" field. Select "Edit Comment List...". Click "Add" to add a new comment to the list. To automatically insert this text into any comment field, select it from the popup menu.

How do I check for an update?
To check to see if a new version of Invoice Builder is available, select "About Invoice Builder..." from the Apple menu. Click on "Check for Update". If you have an internet connection, click the "Yes" button. Invoice Builder will connect to the internet and check for a newer version of Invoice Builder. If there is one available, you can download it from the Invoice Builder Website
