 | FAQ's
 | Why is the planner password protected?
 | You are currently working with the demo version of the Budget Planner, so some of the input cells are locked.  When you download
 | the purchased version of the Budget Planner, these input cells will no longer be locked.
 | We password protect our planner in order to maintain the integrity of the calculations (we do not provide the password to unprotect).
 | This ensures that the calculations and graphs work properly.  Only the white cells in the planner are open for input; shaded
 | cells are password protected.
 | How can I add additional rows?
 | If you decided to purchase the Budget Planner, you will be able to download the expanded version of the Budget Planner.  This expanded
 | version comes with additional rows and categories pre-installed, so you will not have to add rows yourself.
 | How do I change the category names?
 | You can change the default categories/subcategories on either one of the budget sheets (Quick Budget or Budget by Month).
 | These new titles will flow through each sheet of the planner.  Be sure to select your Budget sheet for the Comparison sheet (see below image).
 | This will ensure that your category names flow through the rest of the planner.  You will make this selection at the top of your Budget sheet.
 | Why is my planner a "Read Only" file?
 | First, let's confirm that your Excel file is truly a "Read Only" file.  You can do this by looking at the very top of your Excel program where is says
 | the file name.  If it does say "Read Only" after the file name, than simply save the file to your Desktop using "Save As" and save it using
 | a different file name (i.e. Budget Planner_current year).
 | If you don't see "Read Only" at the very top of the Excel program then you are likely being presented with a password protect message.
 | See "Why is the planner password protected?" above for clarification.
 | Why doesn't the Daily Spending sheet link back to the Tracking sheet?
 | The Tracking by Day sheet as a way to record your spending habits by day for a single month.  We recommend using this sheet for a month
 | so you get a clear idea of where you money goes and when it goes.  Bad spending habits can be corrected within one month of using this sheet.
 | Once you have recognized these daily habits, we recommend using the monthly tracking sheet thereafter.
 | If you chose to continue using the Tracking by Day sheet, download the Daily Linked version on the Home sheet of the purchase version of the Budget Planner.
 | Why aren't my budget category names flowing through the rest of the sheets in the planner?
 | You can change the default categories/subcategories on either one of the budget sheets (Quick Budget or Budget by Month).

 | This will ensure that your category names flow through the rest of the planner.  You will make this selection at the top of your Budget sheet.

 | Why doesn't the Quick Budget sheet link to the Budget by Month sheet?
 | Both the Quick Budget and the Budget by Month sheet are budget sheets, but you will need to choose one or the other.  The Quick Budget
 | sheet is meant for budget's that don't change from one month to the next.  The Budget by Month sheet is meant for budgets that vary one
 | month to the next.  It's up to you which one you decide to use.
