Hi Deborah
I may have misunderstood your explanation but here goes.
Why don't you treat it like a list and have the headings in the margin
followed by a colon and the dollar amounts with any overruns in cell
3? e.g.
Main heading centred.
Petty cash cell 5 if a subheading. If not, put in left margin
followed by colon and dollar amount.
then start in left margin with
Postage for coffee cup promotional items: $40.
If I'm doing something like that that's what I tend to do. I'd have a
transcribers note beforehand saying something like: columns follow
each other in this order: first column name: second column name; third
column name. The first column has a colon then any others have a
semicolon and the last one a fullstop after it. I think it's covered
somewhere in textbook formats but can't remember exactly what it says
and don't have one to refer to.
If your headings don't overrun when starting from the left margin, and
if you had enough room on the right hand side of the page, another
idea would be to set up a table and have a column for the dollar
amounts over on the right of the page so they all line up underneath
each other.
Someone else may have a better suggestion but I hope that helps
anyway.
Teri

Subject: [duxuser] Doing a Budget in Duxbury
I have some questions about doing a budget in Duxbury.
I have main item headings, which I want to either center or have at
the
left-hand margin and I'll have a blank line before and after the
heading.
Then I have headings--such as Petty Cash--which I thought to begin in
cell
5. On the next line, there is a dollar amount--which is at the
left-hand
margin.
But this is where my problem comes. Some of the headings have
runovers--there isn't enough room on the line to put the entire
heading.
Example: Postage for Coffee Cup Promotional Items-- ... I don't want
the
runovers at the left-hand margin as that's where the dollar amounts
are.
What I had thought of doing was to put the heading: Petty Cash in cell
5.
Then I had thought to have the dollar amounts at the left-hand margin
as
that's where it is in the Word document.
Then I couldn't figure where to put the heading runovers as they look
funny
n cell 3. ...
Anybody have any ideas I'd be really happy. Increasingly, I'm doing
more
textbook-type things--and more accounting tables and stuff and it's
just not
my cup of tea (or coffee, either!)
Thanks,
Deb B.
