README.TXT FOR ATARIWORKS INVOICE TEMPLATES 7/29/93
The Templates INV_FORM.STW and INVOICE.STS were created for my security
electronics business. They may be used with appropriate changes of
letterhead and address for almost any business that uses standard forms
for invoicing. No great pains have been taken to "dress it up". I
think it looks just fine the way it is but feel free to make whatever
changes you like.
To use these templates copy them to your AtariWorks folder, start Works
and OPEN the file INV_FORM.STW. Input the invoice number, sold to, date
and other data. Use the cursor keys or mouse to navigate. Do NOT use
the RETURN key. When the data fields are completed select OPEN under
the File menu then select the spreadsheet icon and OPEN the file
INVOICE.STS. Using the down arrow on the slider bar get down to the
entry marked TAX. Select the D column immediately to its right and
the formula for tax calulation will appear on the edit bar at the top
of the screen. Press the SPACEBAR one time, backspace over the default
tax rate, enter the tax rate for your area and press RETURN. Go back to
cell A2 and begin enterring your data. When you have finished data
entry click on All Cells under the Select menu then click on Copy as
Metafile under the Edit Menu. Click on Activate Document under the
Window menu and select INV_FORM.STW if not already selected and click
on OK. You will now be back to your invoice form. Place your cursor
on the second line below the Terms: field then click on Paste under the
Edit menu. Your invoice is now ready to be printed. Adequate space
has been left at the bottom of form to allow enterring "ORIGINAL",
"Copy n of n" or your favorite threat.
With AtariWorks we have a program with tremendous power. When the
powers in Sunnyvale release version 2.0 we may have a program that blows
integrated packages on other platforms out of the water. I also use
GeoWorks 2.0 on the Messy DOS platform and can only say that AtariWorks
is easier to use and faster on my 1040STE w/4mByte than GeoWorks is
on my wife's 386SX-33 w/2mByte. GeoWorks beats out AtariWorks on the
number of functions it performs (it has a full on bitmap and vector
graphics program) and its ability to perform as an operating environ-
ment but can't match the ease of use I get with NeoDesk 3 and Atari-
Works. If Atari can add a good telecom function, an .IMG and .GEM
graphics editor and an intelligent printer spooler to AtariWorks they
will have a package that will make users of other platforms sit up
and take notice.
Please feel free to modify my humble templates. I'm sure they can
be improved or made even easier to use.
UPLOAD, UPLOAD, UPLOAD your templates. There's a lot of us out there
creating things that others can use. UPLOADS ARE FREE so lets see
some of yours.
Atarians help Atarians!
