The Data Review copy is just a sample of the information entered into Next Gen. This is not your proof copy. The statement still has to be typeset and formatted. You will receive notice that your proof is available. Please proof your proof copy and not the data review copy. If you have the same number of tables and information (pie charts, etc.) as the previous cycle, you will have the same number of pages as the previous statement. If you have added additional breakouts, charts, forms etc. we will try our best to use the least number of pages.
NEXT GEN will time out after approximately 45 minutes of inactivity, be sure to save changes before leaving for lunch, a meeting, going home for the day, etc.

93. INTERNET EXPLORER version 7.0 & NEXT GEN
This is a workaround for a known occurrence between IE v.7.0 and NEXT GEN’s FarPoint Spread software.
Microsoft is presently working to correct this and will be releasing a patch to automatically perform this workaround.

Internet Explorer 7 opens a message box asking if you want to access the clipboard whenever you click a cell in FarPoint Spread between page refreshes, it appears like this.
It defaults to “Don’t Allow” which could make copy paste operations impossible.
