Entering Info

To enter basic company information, follow these steps:

  1. Choose Company Info from the File menu.  You'll see the Company Info window.
  2. Enter your company info.
  3. Click OK.

Data Fields

Enter info into the following fields:

Name-- Enter your company name, as you'd like it to appear on printed forms.
Address-- Enter your company address.
Phone-- Enter your phone number(s).
Tax ID Numbers-- Enter your tax ID numbers.
Fiscal Year Start-- Enter the start of your company's fiscal year. HINT-- It doesn't matter which year you enter-- Goldenseal will always use the same day and month in the proper year.
Comments-- Enter any comments you have about your company.

Adding A Logo

Goldenseal lets you store a graphic image of your company logo, so it's easy to include in printed forms or reports with the Custom Layouts command.

To add a company logo, follow these steps:

  1. Create your company logo in any graphics program.
  2. While in the graphics program, select the graphic, then choose Copy from the Edit menu.
  3. Switch to Goldenseal.
  4. Choose Company Info from the File menu.
  5. Click in the Company Logo field.
  6. Choose Paste from the Edit menu (Mac) or right-click and choose Paste from the popup menu (Windows).
On the Macintosh, you can paste in any graphics that are in PICT format. That includes "MacPaint" style bitmap images, and "MacDraw" style drawings.
HINT-- Many graphics programs support the PICT format.  If you want to use graphics that are not PICT, use a graphics utility such as GifMover to convert it to PICT.

In Windows, you can paste in bitmap images that are in .bmp, .jpg, .gif, .tiff or .psd (Photoshop) formats. Goldenseal will also convert most other graphic formats so they'll work for the logo.

Using Company Info

You can include your company name, address, phone and tax ID number on reports or printed forms.

To do so, follow these steps:

  1. Choose Custom Layouts from the Options menu, and choose Printed Forms from the submenu.
  2. Switch to the form where you'd like to include company info.
  3. Click on the Calculator Tool.
  4. Click and drag on the form at the location where you'd like to add company info.
  5. You'll see a calculator dialog. Switch to the Company Info calculators.
  6. Choose the item you'd like to add to the form, then click OK.

HINT-- If you ever decide to change your address or logo in the future, you'll only need to make the change in the Company Info window. All forms and reports will automatically be updated.

Using Company Logo

Goldenseal already includes the company logo on many printed forms. When you paste in a new logo, it automatically appears on all the forms.

To include the company logo on your own forms or reports, use the Custom Layouts command to open the layout, and then use the Add Logo command to add the logo.
