Changing the Microsoft Money Window


You can make changes to the Money program window by choosing the Tool's menu

Options command, clicking its General tab, and then using the buttons and boxes of

the General tab.

Setting Display Options

The Display box presents you with several options. The Start Money With This Page

Open box lets you tell Money what it should display in its first window. Initially, Money

assumes that you want to see the Money home page. You can, however, pick several

other options. For example, you can choose to display an account register, a list of

accounts, a list of your upcoming bills, and several other sets of information as well.

Beneath the Start Money With This Page Open box, Money provides three other

check boxes that let you control information that appears on the Money home page

(and several other places as well). For example, the Display Charts Using Patterns box

allows you to control whether Money uses colors or patterns to show the data

markers in charts. The Print Charts Using Black & White Patterns box allows you

to specify how Money should print its charts. The Turn Off Sponsorship And

Shopping Links box allows you to tell Money that you don't want hyperlinks to

advertisers appearing in the Money window.

Setting Color Schemes Options

The Color Schemes box lets you choose a color palette for the Money windows. If you

click the Color Schemes box's button, Money displays a list of color scheme options.

If you want to make this change, your best bet is just to experiment with the different

color schemes.

Setting Calendar Options

The Calendar box lets you tell Money the weekday on which your weeks start. The

initial setting is Sunday. You can easily change this to some other day by using the Week

Starts On box.

Setting Sounds Options

The Sounds box also has several options you can set. The Play Sounds check box lets

you tell Money whether you want it to play sounds, obviously. If you work where it is

important to be quiet, clear this check box to turn off the playing of sounds.

Clicking the Change Sounds button displays the Windows Sounds Property dialog

box. You can use this dialog box to specify what sounds Money-or another program-

plays when certain actions occur. For example, you can use the Windows Sounds

Property dialog box to specify the sound that Microsoft Windows makes when you

close a program.

As you no doubt noticed during your work, Money plays audio help files as you use

the program. In general, what Money does is play audio help files the first few times

you work with a feature window or dialog box, and then the program stops playing

the audio files. If you want to reset this feature, click the Reset Audio Help button.

You might want to do this if it has been a while since you have used Money, or if you

are new to Money but someone else has already been using the copy of Money you

are now using.

Setting Advisor FYI Options

In the Advisor FYI section of the Money home page, Money displays a Customize

link. Clicking the Advisor FYI link displays a dialog box that lets you choose which

information appears in the Advisor FYI section of the Money home page. The options on these five dialog box tabs (Choose Advisor FYI, Account Balances, Monthly Spending, Important Dates, and Investment Prices) are self-explanatory

or can easily be learned by simple exploration.
