New articles on moneymvps.org site

I had a major day of putting up new information on the main FAQ site yesterday, which included the following new articles:

• Bills Insight - Article 511
• Spending Insight - Article 510
• Known bug fixes in Microsoft Money Plus (2008) - Article 509
• Currencies in Microsoft Money Plus (2008) - Article 508
• Default Categories in the US 2008 (Money Plus) Versions - Article 507
• Special Offers for Microsoft Money Plus 2008 - Article 506
• Cash Flow Insight - Article 505
• Linking from transactions to external documents or images - Article 504
• Activation in Microsoft Money Plus 2008 - Article 502

It is anticipated that article 510 (known bug fixes) will be expanded as more are discovered.

Certain articles I always produce for each new version, such as the list of default categories and currencies.

Money Plus (2008) Insights

Now that the trial versions of Microsoft Money Plus have been released, more information on the product can be discovered.

Insights
One of the newest items is what could be considered the re-introduction of Money Express, but under the guise of 'Insights'.

Insights provide you with the ability to see information about bills, spending and cash flow from outside of the program. There are three insights in the program, and a brief summary can be see in the articles below

• Cash Flow Insight
• Spending Insight
• Bills Insight

Insights do not require you to have Money running, as the program uses your Money file directly. It lives in the taskbar on the Windows screen, highlighting you to alerts as required.

Options within these insights are limited. They are designed to provide pertinent data to allow you to go into the Money file if something needs to be done.

When some of the MVPs were in Redmond earlier in the year, we did see some of the prototype work here, and it is good to see that some of the things we saw made it into the program.
