expense reports
anybody have any advice on how to convert text files (i.e. email receipts) into tiff or png files suitable for uploading? seems to me that's easier than faxing or scanning into a jpeg.
I checked out the png site but it seemed a little more than I needed, not being a programmer. Seems to me there's gotta be a way. Any of you computer wizzes got this figured out yet?
Thnks

If you have a digital camera, it's pretty easy.
other than that, a scanner for a paper copy, or some software (I like snag it http://www.techsmith.com/screen-capture.asp) if you have an electronic receipt will do the trick.
Or, buy a fax machine
hmmmm, wonder if the folks at Kinko's will let me use a fax for free, or if my ACP will let me expense it?
If this FOX system was supposed to save so much time, wonder why my Jun and Jul expense reports are still pending several weeks later.

Ditto on the Jun/Jul expense report still pending. I sent in all the receipts, even an old expense form showing how instead of the company thinking I owed them 125 bucks, I actually saved the company 200 and owe NOTHING.
I liked the old way mo better, cause it was all done in a flash by me and I new where I stood with the company in a New York minute. But then somebody in memphis actually had to read the thing...........

I sent in my expense report receipts last month using the fax machines in the AOC. Worked good and for all the pilots out there, the cost was "FREE". I'm not buying a fax or scanner just so I can send in my expense reports.

I don't care how "easy" it is. Yet again the company has figured out a way for us to do someone else's job. We're now doing the lion's share of the accounting and reconciling of our expense reports. It flat pi$$es me off to be doing foreign currency conversions so that I can fill in the tax block for a hotel charge on their pain in the butt system.

Use the "Big" Printer closest to the soda machines (desk 2?). It has instructions taped on the top of it to assist you. If you goof it up ask one of the younger coordinators to help you. They are more than happy to assist if it isn't too busy for them. You can print the fax cover sheet in FOX under "Travel Reports" where it says "print". Each cover sheet is specific to the bid month you are using. The auditor told me to tape or staple small receipts right to the cover sheet and fax it that way. The fax receipt prints the whole page so you have a record of what you sent.
