QUICKBOOKS PRO7 99 - Pearson Education
USING QUICKBOOKS PRO® 2003
Intuit frequently updates its programs. The current trend is to release a new version of QuickBooks, QuickBooks Pro, and QuickBooks Professional each year. Usually, the changes to the program are not extensive. Some of the changes may be visual in nature, while other changes may be improvements in the manner in which the software processes data. The following items indicate all the changes that need to be made to the text in order to use QuickBooks Pro® 2003 rather than QuickBooks Pro® 2002. Throughout the text QuickBooks Pro 2002 is shown as the version of the program. If using QuickBooks Pro Edition 2003, this version should be used throughout the text and will show on the screen.
