IIt used to do this > when I had the G4 but now I have to manually go in and re-program the > formats into the cells. Also, there are limitations to what I can > create using my own skill and knowledge. I use several files to store > information but need to do each one individually. > I'm considering obtaining a new program with ready-made invoice, > record, time-sheet etc templates where information is correlated > within several documents/files rather than me having to go into each > one to add information individually to the fields/cells. I currently > hold 30 contracts. I am not incorporated so reporting is simply for > planning and income tax purposes. > > Can someone provide me feedback on what program[s] you use for small > business/contractor purposes or what you might suggest I try? > > G3 [slow] > 10.3.9 [slow] > > Now, if I could only afford to upgrade my computer as well!!! > Thanks > > Theresa > > --- > MUGLO information at <http://www.freewebs.com/muglo> > Manage your account options at <//www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi> > > > _________________________________________________________________ --- MUGLO information at <http://www.freewebs.com/muglo> Manage your account options at <//www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi>
