New Budget Planner testers needed!

I know this is gonna sound dumb,

but could you include a column for those paid 4 weekly (this is where I keep messing things up trying to budget plan )

but it looks great:T

Budget Planner Tips - hyperlink in wrong cell (to the left)
Other Income - Can't input description (on all tabs)
Other Income - formulas not in the monthly total cells

What do you spend: Would it be possible to put section 1 of 13 so that people know there is more than just 1 table?
Also, if there are not enough "other" fields - the user can't add more

Health & Beauty = Big one off total

Clicking anywhere on the check your results sheet takes you back to the beginning?

open office 2.1

on the Getting Started (first page) at the bottom, everyting is jumbled and on top of eachother, also my screen doesn't seem wide enough and i have to scroll across to read it all... maybe i just need a newer version of OO


and same as others have said, can't edit the boxes for "other" spends

other than that it seems to work pretty well :T

Can we have a version which we can modify ourselves, i.e. if we have more than one pension, and also split it for more than one income. I know I can add it, but I like to see each part seperately.

I'm being lazy really, I could do one myself,but saves me starting from scratch.

Thank you so much everyone, great feedback so far, especially the Open Office comments. As you probably know our current budget planner doesn't work at all in Open Office so it's particularly useful to know how it's working and looking for you guys.

Keep them coming

PS. Obviously this isn't the final version so if you want your budget in the final version when it's ready then make sure you're getting the weekly email - it'll be in there when it's ready

What does everyone think of the colours? A bit too bright or better than the pale of the old one?

Plus if anyone's got any more comments on how it works for them then let us know, we're still tweaking

Spotted a few minor things (Excel 2003 SP3).

Three of the sheets (Getting Started, Spending Totals and Check Your Results) have the row numbers and column letters showing, whereas the other two don't.

On 'What Do you Spend?': the bottom part of the text 'BUDGET COULD BE WRONG' is chopped off.

On 'Spending Totals': 'Heath & Beauty' is misspelt; 'Desired Monthly Spend' is chopped off and overlaying the chart. The legend of both charts doesn't show all the categories, though this can be expanded so maybe that doesn't matter.
