First, to get a new line to begin entering your income or expenses click the "+" located at the bottom left corner of the Budget Manager dialog. To enter information double-click on the blank line for each field to either directly type in data or bring up a drop-down list of choices. To add more lines to your budget, keep clicking the “+” so you can add additional categories to your budget.
If you want to budget the same income or expense amount for every month of the year just put in the first month Start Date and the program will insert it for each successive month.
If you leave off the End Date the Budget report will capture any income or expense that comes in even if it is after the month you had expected to record the event.
