QuickBooks Tip: Save Time with Keyboard Shortcuts

Using keyboard shortcuts can to help you work more efficiently in QuickBooks. You can keep your hands on the keyboard and minimize the time lost when using a mouse to activate a command or move to a field on a transaction.

There are simple keyboard commands for navigating through lists, editing transactions, entering dates and opening data files and dialog boxes in QuickBooks. For example:

• Ctrl+N – Creates a new transaction or list item when you have a list or transaction window open
• Ctrl+H – Opens the Transaction History dialog box on a displayed transaction
• Alt+N – Saves the selected transaction and advances to the next same-type transaction
• Ctrl+W – Opens the Write Checks dialog box
• W – First day of the week
• M – First day of the month
