To set up AccountEdge to conform to the way you work

If you havenít already read the Your Company Overview, see Customizing work preferences for more information.

There are a number of ways you can set up AccountEdge to help you make your accounting tasks more efficient.

  • You can use the Easy-Fill feature to quickly enter account numbers, item numbers and card names that you enter frequently. When you enter an existing account number or card name, Easy-Fill will ìrecognizeî the entry youíre making and automatically fill in the rest of the entry for you. If you want to use Easy-Fill, click the Windows tab in the Preferences window, then mark the box labeled ìUse Easy-Fill When Selecting From a List.î
  • If your company has many items in stock, your list of items is probably long. If youíd like to sort your item search lists alphabetically by the itemsí names instead of by the itemsí numbers, click the Windows tab in the Preferences window, then mark the box labeled ìSelect Items by Item Name, Not Item Number.î
  • If you enter long descriptions on sales and purchases, and you want to view those descriptions in their entirety whenever the Description field is active, click the Windows tab in the Preferences window, then mark the box labeled ìUse Expandable Data Entry Fields in Windows.î
  • If you want to the To Do List to appear immediately when you start AccountEdge, click the Windows tab in the Preferences window, then mark the box labeled ìDisplay To Do List When Starting AccountEdge.î
