Appendix WinCheck messages and meanings. Page 1 WinCheck Owner's Manual Introduction WinCheck is a checkbook management program for Microsoft Windows Version 3.00. With WinCheck it is possible to enter and track the following transactions for multiple savings and checking accounts. Transaction Types Check Writing and/or Withdrawal from Savings Deposits Interest Accrued Cash Machine Advances Misc Bank Charges Transfers to or from Savings and Checking WinCheck will manage all of these transactions, making it easy to balance your checkbook and record a savings account's history. System Requirements WinCheck requires an IBM PC or compatible with a minimum of 640K memory running Microsoft Windows version 3.00 or higher. Acknowledgements WinCheck was designed and written by Dave Edson. User's Manual designed and written by Kate Edson, with a tiny bit of help from Dave Edson. WinCheck OnLine Help by Don Hasson Special thanks to all who sent comments and suggestions, helping to make WinCheck as useful and easy to use as possible. Page 2 WinCheck Owner's Manual WinCheck Installation The installation program for WinCheck is a Windows application, so Windows will need to be running prior to running the Setup program. To start the Setup program, put the appropriate disk into the floppy drive and from the File menu of the Windows Program Manager choose Run. Beside the words "Command Line:", type the drive that contains the floppy disk followed by the filename SETUP.EXE (i.e. A:\SETUP.EXE). This will start the WinCheck setup program. Setup prompts you for a location to install WinCheck (i.e. C:\WINCHECK) and copies over all of the necessary files to this location. Near completion of the Setup program, a Program Group called WinCheck is created (if your Windows shell is the Program Manager). Where Should I Begin? A good place to start learning WinCheck is with the tutorial files. The WinCheck tutorial file includes sample data for January,February and March of 1991. To access this file start the WinCheck program and type "TUT" for the Account ID. With the tutorial file, experiment with the different features via the "Toolbox"; selecting the Toolbox menu toggles the Toolbox on and off. Go ahead and write some fake checks, make that lottery check deposit you've always wished for, and get a good feel for WinCheck before entering your own data. View the check register and statement for January and February by selecting Display Check Statement or Display Check Register from the File menu (select January or February from the list of months). Choose Tile from the Window menu and view information from January and February at the same time. Once you have experimented with the tutorial file and you want to start your own account, choose Load Account from the File menu and type in an account ID (i.e. your initials) or type in a new account ID on startup of the WinCheck program. Page 3 WinCheck Owner's Manual Files Included with WinCheck WINCHECK.EXE The WinCheck program file WINCHECK.HLP The WinCheck Windows help file CHKHDR.TUT The main file for the TUT account CHKHDRB.TUT A backup of the CHKHDR.TUT NATURES.TUT The file containing the transaction types (i.e. Personal/Business/Rent) for the TUT account.

EXP0191.TUT A tab delimited text file created with the WinCheck Export function *.WCT Files created with the WinCheck Form Designer WINBATCH.TXT This manual in ASCII format All account information is stored with the file extension of the account ID (requested upon startup). This way it is possible to have multiple accounts, each with it's own account ID. Valid account ID's are 1-3 characters in length, only A-Z, 0-9 characters are allowed. Each month is limited to 500 total transactions (includes deposits, checks, misc...).

Page 21 WinCheck Owner's Manual FORM ATTRIBUTES Lines Per Inch This defines the number of lines per inch your form is designed for. Almost every form is designed for 6 lines per inch (the default value). Chars per Inch This defines the number of characters per inch your form is designed for. Almost every form is designed for 10 characters per inch (the default value). Form Vert Size This defines the number of lines for a single check. For example, if you have a check that is 3.5 inches deep, and you are printing at 6 lines per inch, then your check would be 21 lines long. Form Horiz Size This defines the number of inches wide your form measures. Typically 8 inches (the default value). Forms Per Page This defines the number of checks that fit on a single printer page. A check queue will be the size of this number (valid range is 1-5). As you print checks, this queue will fill up. When the queue is full (or when you exit WinCheck), the queue will print. This allows laser printer forms with three checks per page to print all three checks at once. If you are using a dot matrix printer, you may find it annoying that a page eject is produced after printing a check. This is a limitation of Windows. Therefore, by specifying a number of checks per page, you can print a pageful of checks at a time, reducing the number of times you need to "wind the printer back". Page 22 WinCheck Owner's Manual CHECK FIELD ATTRIBUTES Chars Wide This defines the number of characters wide the text field may be. Lines Deep This defines the number of lines deep the field may be. Generally, the field is one line deep, with the exception of the address field. In this case, it should be four lines deep. Check Field Type This allows you to define the type of text field. There are eight standard fields, plus a custom field. The standard fields will be automatically filled in when you print the check. The custom field will print the text you enter in this dialog. Page 23 WinCheck Owner's Manual TRANSACTION DETAILS This dialog allows you to save additional information about a transaction. Information entered in the memo line field(s) will be printed when printing checks. Information entered in the address section will be printed on checks if an address field as included. Comments are not printed. Page 24 WinCheck Owner's Manual SPLIT TRANSACTION DIALOG Splitting a transaction takes place after you have pressed the OK or ANOTHER button on a transaction if the "Type" field displays "Split...". Amount Accted For This is how much money has been assigned to a category. Amount Remaining This is how much money is not assigned to a category. This number must be 0.00 in order to leave the split dialog. ADD Assigns the amount in the edit field to the category in the Type field, and adds it to the list of assigned amounts. DELETE If an amount is selected in the list, this will delete it. MODIFY If an amount is selected in the list, this will replace it. HELP Brings up a help screen containing the information on this page. OK Accepts the list. For an example, please refer to the "How To" section of this manual. Page 25 WinCheck Owner's Manual EDIT CATEGORIES To edit categories, choose "Edit Categories" from the "File" menu. Select a category from the list. DELETE Removes the category. MODIFY Replaces the selected category with the category in the edit field. Note: Deleting a category is a permanent decision. Make sure that none of your transactions are still using this category. WinCheck will not lose these transactions, but the reports will place these dollar amounts in a category titled "Deleted". Modifying a category will change that category description throughout your entire register. For example, changing "Business" to "Pleasure" will affect every "Business" transaction in your account. It is not possible to delete or modify the category "Personal". Page 26 WinCheck Owner's Manual REPORT GENERATOR WinCheck has a report generator that allows for printing and viewing reports. Bring up the Report Generator Dialog from the "File" menu. Select the starting month of the report span, then select the ending month. Select the report type you wish to view. Pressing the "View" button gives a quick look at the report on the screen. It is not possible to page backwards through the report. Pressing the "Print" button prints the report on the printer specified in the Select Printer Dialog. SELECTING PRINTERS Choosing "Select Printer" from the "File" menu will bring up the Select Printers dialog. For each type of printout (Checks, Reports), choose a printer. When complete, press OK. To use the default printer for everything, press USE DEFAULT, and then press OK. Page 27 WinCheck Owner's Manual Starting a New Account Setting up a WinCheck bank account is easy. After starting the WinCheck program you are prompted for the account ID of the account which you would like to work with. Valid account ID's are 1-3 characters in length, only A-Z, 0-9 characters are allowed. To start a new account, type in an account ID that you have not used before. Doing this will bring up a dialog asking to open a new account (click the OK button to start a new account with the specified account ID). Once a new account is started, the balance for checking and saving is $0.00. To specify an initial checking account balance, choose Misc from the Checking menu. Enter the starting balance amount in the Amount field and type "Starting Balance" in the Description field. Check both the Credit account and Cleared boxes. Click on the button marked Details or press ALT+D to access Details from the keyboard. Press the TAB key six times to advance to the Comments section or click within the Comments section with the mouse. In the Comments section, you can type any notes about a particular transaction. In this case, you might want to type in a note indicating that this transaction is the initial checking account balance for WinCheck. The other fields in the Details dialog are used to enter a mailing address and memo information for printing checks. Once you have entered the comment, click OK to close the Details dialog and OK again to close the Checking Deposit dialog. To specify an initial Savings account balance, choose Misc from the Savings menu and type a beginning balance figure in the Amount field and type "Starting Balance" in the Description field. Next, you might want to add your paycheck amount to the Common menu so that each time you are paid, the amount can be entered in one step. From the Common menu choose Add and select Checking Misc. Enter the date you are paid, the amount, and type PayCheck in the Description field. Check both the Credit account and Cleared boxes. Press OK to add the transaction to the Common menu for later access. Page 28 WinCheck Owner's Manual Using WinCheck Daily Activities Once you have started your account with WinCheck, there are a few activities you will do often: 1.Enter checks you wrote while away from home. This can be done by pressing F3, or by choosing Check from the Checking Menu. 2.Create checks at home. This can include bill paying, or other expenses. WinCheck can print the checks on any available blank check that will fit in a printer. WinCheck can keep track of up to 32 "Common Transactions", these transactions are those that happen on a repeat basis. For example, payday can be entered as a common transaction, allowing you to make your payroll deposit with a single menu choice. Also, bills can be automatically paid with a single menu choice. 3.Enter deposits, transfers, or other transactions. Less Common Activities There are some other activities that you will not do as often: 1.Reconcile and Balance your account. Usually once a month, you can flag all of your banking transactions as cleared by your bank. Afterwards, you can check you balance to the bank's balance, and as long as they match, your account is A.O.K. 2.Create Common Transactions. Here you can define a transaction that will happen on a repeat basis (i.e. Car Payment, etc). 3.Create Check Form Templates, or load templates. The WinCheck Form Designer allows you to create a template to print on anything that will fit in your printer! 4.Print reports. WinCheck's Report Dialog has a list of the types of reports available. 5.Change WinCheck settings. Page 29 WinCheck Owner's Manual Transaction Types Transactions by default are of the type "Personal". If you do not wish to separate your transactions by type, just leave the type in the "Type" field of a transaction dialog as "Personal". However, if you wish to create new transaction types, such as "Business", "Utility", "Cats", etc, you can use the "Type" field to select one. To add a new type to the list, just type it in; WinCheck will automatically add the type to the list. When you export your account to a file, the type field will be used to separate transactions. Each column of information will be for a different type. Sample Exported File: CHECKING CREDITS Personal Bills Utility 11/01/90 Checking Deposit 1000.00 CHECKING DEBITS Personal Bills Utility 11/01/90 #103 Phil's Cat Cabana 45.96 11/12/90 #104 Pacific Power Company 23.33 11/07/90 Checking Cash Machine 60.00 11/12/90 Credit Card Payment 250.00 Page 30 WinCheck Owner's Manual Checks: Check Details: WinCheck can keep extra information about any transaction. This information can be accessed by pressing the "Details..." button in the transaction dialog. For this section, we will refer to the check dialog. The Transaction Details dialog provides for three pieces of information: 1. Two memo lines. These will be printed on the memo line of a check (if your form includes a memo field(s)). 2. An address. This is the address of the recipient of the check. If you print the check, and use envelopes with a window, you can have the address show through the window. 3. Comments. You can enter any information you want in this field. It will not be printed. Entering Checks you wrote away from home: WinCheck has dialogs for entering checks. There are two slightly different variations: Conventional and Endstub. The only difference between the two are the tab ordering of the fields. When entering in the data, the check number field will have the next available check number in it. If you write your checks in order, you will not need to change this field. The current date will be in the date field. You can manually type in a new date, or you can use the F5 and F6 keys to move down or up a day, respectively. The F5 and F6 keys only work while the blinking caret is in the date field. If you enter an invalid date, WinCheck will prompt you for a correct date. If you enter an invalid dollar amount, WinCheck will inform you of it's interpretation of the number. Page 31 WinCheck Owner's Manual Creating Checks at home: WinCheck can print checks to any blank check that fits in your printer. Before printing checks, use the WinCheck Print Form Designer to design your check form. Enter the information into the check fields as you would normally. If you like a memo and address field printed on the check, be sure to add the information to the check with the Details dialog (a memo an address field will also need to be part of your form or it won't print the fields). Make sure the details dialog has the address and memo line information you want. Once this is OK, press the "Print" button from the check dialog. If you are using a Check Print Queue, the check will be entered into the check printing queue. If the queue is full, all of the checks in the queue will be printed. Pressing "Print" will also save the check into the data file (the equivalent of pressing the OK button). If you want to print a previously entered check, double click on the check entry from the check Register or Statement. Common Checks: If you add checks to the Common Transactions, you should also enter the check details such as an account number for the memo field and a recipient address. This way, when you actually write checks at home from the Common menu, the check details will be automatically filled in. By using the Common Check and details, paying a bill is as simple as a Menu Choice, a push of the "Print" button, a signature, and sealing the envelope! Page 32 WinCheck Owner's Manual Deposits: There are two ways to make a deposit to your account. You can choose "Deposit" from the Checking or Savings menus, or you can choose "Misc" from the Checking or Savings menu. If you choose "Misc", you can describe the type of deposit (i.e. "Direct Deposit", or "Bank Credit"). Be sure to check the "Credit Account" box on the Misc dialog, otherwise the amount will be deducted from your balance instead of credited. Take advantage of the Common Transactions to put your paychecks and other direct deposits using the Deposit or Misc transaction types. For both the Deposit and Misc dialogs, if you press F5 or F6 while on the Date field, you will move the date up or down one day, respectively. Cash Machine: The cash machine allows you to indicate cash machine withdrawals. You can indicate common withdrawal amounts of cash, or you can type in the exact amount you withdrew. Note that these transactions are automatically flagged as "Cleared" by WinCheck. This is because the transaction was done electronically through your bank and thus clear immediately. To unclear a transaction, use the Register or Statement. If you press F5 or F6 while on the Date field, you will move the date up or down one day, respectively. Transfers: You can indicate transfers of funds from checking to savings or vice versa. Enter the amount and date in the fields. If you press F5 or F6 while in the Date field, you will move the date up or down one day, respectively. Page 33 WinCheck Owner's Manual Interest: If your checking account or savings account accrues interest, you can enter the amount with this dialog. Enter the amount and date in the fields. If you press F5 or F6 while in the Date field, you will move the date up or down one day, respectively. Miscellaneous: If none of the transaction types suit your needs, you can make up your own transaction here. Type the description of the transaction into the Description field, and enter the date and amount. If the transaction adds money to your balance, check the "credit account" box. By default, this is not checked. If you press F5 or F6 while in the Date field, you will move the date up or down one day, respectively. Page 34 WinCheck Owner's Manual The Register: The Check Register can be used for many different operations: 1.Reconciliation of transactions. 2.Deletion of transactions. 3.Modification of transactions. 4.Changing transactions from one date to another. 5.Viewing your running balance. 6.Finding Transactions (although you can use the Find function). The Register Appearance: The Register is a window with a caption (header) and a listbox. The caption indicates the columns and the information each one provides. The Header Line will only appear if the Headings box is checked in the Settings dialog. The Register window can be minimized, sized, closed, or arranged with the Window menu option on the Main Window. Multiple Registers and Statements from the same or different months can be open at once. Opening the same Register twice can be helpful for comparing different parts of the month to each other. Opening a register from two different months can be helpful for comparing months' transactions. The Window menu lists the open windows and can be used to jump from one window to another. If an asterisk appears by the dollar amount or date on the transaction, this indicates that it has been cleared by the bank. For both checking and savings, there are two columns for your running balance. The Checking has "ChkBal" and "BnkChk" columns. "ChkBal" indicates your balance. This is updated with every transaction you make. In a idealistic system where all transactions instantly clear the bank, this would be your true running balance. However, banks are usually a few days behind in clearing transactions, hence the "BnkChk" column. Only those transactions that are cleared will show up in this column. Page 35 WinCheck Owner's Manual The Register listbox is a Multiple Selection listbox. To select one item, click on it (or use the arrow keys to move to it). To select a block of items, use the shift key and arrow keys, or click and drag the mouse. This could be helpful to clear a group of checks at one time when your bank statement arrives. To select non-contiguous transactions, use the control key and mouse or arrow keys. Consult your Windows User Manual for more information on Multiple Selection Listboxes. The number of Register windows open at one time depends on the amount of memory your system has available. Page 36 WinCheck Owner's Manual Reconciliation of Transactions: To reconcile (clear) a transaction(s), select it, and then choose "Clear" from the Data menu. Once cleared, these transactions will now have an asterisk beside them, and the "BnkChk" column will update to reflect the Bank's balance. When you have reconciled every transaction that your bank knows about, compare the "BnkChk" balance with the Bank's balance. If they match up, you have a balanced account! Pressing the F2 key will bring up the current balances of your account. Deletion of Transactions: To delete a transaction, select it, and then choose "Delete" from the Data menu. Be sure you really want to do this, as the data cannot be undeleted. Modification of Transactions: To modify a transaction(s), select the transaction(s), and double click the mouse, or press the Enter key. The transaction(s) will appear on the screen in their respective dialogs so the information can be edited. You can have a maximum of 16 transaction dialogs open at any one time. Changing Transactions from one Date to Another: Edit the transaction, and change the date. WinCheck will then automatically move it to the new place in the register (if sorted by date). Viewing your Running Balance: You can view your running balance with the Register. For a most accurate reflection, you should set the sorting to be by Date. This can be done from the "Sort" option in the Data menu. NOTE: Each window has it's own sort options. Changing the sorting option for one window does not change the sorting option for another window. Page 37 WinCheck Owner's Manual The Statement: The Check Statement can be used for many different operations: 1.Reconciliation of transactions. 2.Deletion of transactions. 3.Modification of transactions. 4.Changing transactions from one date to another. 5.Finding Transactions (although you can use the Find function). Page 38 WinCheck Owner's Manual The Statement Appearance: The major difference between the Register and the Statement is the range of items displayed. The Register displays the items as they would be in your check register. The Statement displays items as they would appear on a Bank statement. Deposits are first, then checks, then other transactions. Register Windows display transactions for a month. Statement windows display transactions for a month long cycle (i.e. Jan 15 through Feb 15). The "Settings" option under the File menu allows you to specify the start of the bank cycle. The Statement is a window with a Header and a listbox. The Header indicates the columns and the information each one provides. The Statement window can be minimized, sized, closed, or arranged with the Window menu option on the Main Window. It is completely OK to have more than one window open of the same month. This can be helpful comparing different parts of the month to each other. If an asterisk appears by the dollar amount or date on the transaction, this indicates that it has been cleared by the bank. If the "Display Uncleared" option is checked on the Data Menu, then only those transactions that have yet to clear the bank will appear. This is useful for the "Elimination Method" of reconciliation. For both checking and savings, there is a column for the transaction amount. The Statement listbox is a Multiple Selection listbox. To select one item, click on it (or use the arrow keys to move to it). To select a block of items, use the shift key and arrow keys, or click and drag the mouse. To select non-contiguous transactions, use the control key and mouse or arrow keys. Consult your Windows User Manual for more information on Multiple Selection Listboxes. Page 39 WinCheck Owner's Manual Reconciliation of Transactions: To reconcile (clear) a transaction(s), select it, and then choose "Clear" from the Data menu. These transactions will now have an asterisk beside them, and the "BnkChk" column will reflect the Bank's balance. When you have reconciled every transaction, press the F2 key to bring up the balances of your account. If you have the "Display Uncleared" menu option checked, the cleared transactions will not be displayed. Deletion of Transactions: To delete a transaction, select it, and then choose "Delete" from the Data menu. Be sure you really want to do this, as the data cannot be undeleted. Modification of Transactions: To modify a transaction(s), select the transaction(s), and double click the mouse, or press the Enter key. The transaction(s) will appear on the screen in their respective dialogs so the information can be edited. You can have a maximum of 16 transaction dialogs open at any one time. Changing Transactions from one Date to Another: Edit the transaction, and change the date. WinCheck will automatically move it to the new place in the Statement (if sorted by date). Finding Transactions: View the Statement and locate the transaction or use the Find Transaction function for quicker results. NOTE: Each window has it's own sort options. Changing the sorting option for one window does not change the sorting option for another window. Page 40 WinCheck Owner's Manual Finding Transactions: To find a transaction, the easiest method is to choose the "Find..." option from the File menu. Here you can fill in a search key to find your transaction. You can make the key as detailed or vague as you wish. You can also specify the search range to be either the current month, all months, or a range of months. Once you have pressed the OK button, WinCheck will display all of the transactions it finds in a listbox. If no transactions are found, the listbox will be empty. Double clicking on the transaction or pressing the "view" button will display the transaction dialog. Pressing the "View & Register" button will display that transaction, and open the appropriate Register. Pressing "Leave" will exit the Find function. Common Transactions: There are many transactions that you make on a regular basis: PayCheck deposits, Bills, Direct Payments. WinCheck will keep a record of these transactions, and add them directly to the Common menu. You can have up to 32 Common Transactions per account. To add a common Transaction, choose "Add" from the Common Menu. Decide the type of transaction you wish to add. Fill in as many or as few fields as you wish. Be sure to add details to this transaction if you want them to be added every time you make this transaction. Once you have added a transaction to the Common List, you can then view it on the Common menu. Choosing the menu item will bring up a new transaction, with the fields already filled in. However, the date and the check number (when applicable) will reflect the current date and the next available check number. The details of the transaction will also have any details you entered in the common transaction. To Edit or Delete a common transaction, choose the Edit/Delete option from the Common menu. Select the transaction, and push the Edit or Delete button. When you are done, press the Leave button. Page 41 WinCheck Owner's Manual Exporting Files To Export a file, choose "Export" from the File menu. This menu option will only be available if a check Register is open and active. A file with a extension of the Account ID is created in your WinCheck directory. The file is saved in a tab delimited text format which is readable by most spreadsheet programs such as Microsoft Excel, 1-2-3, etc. The filename consists of EXPmmyy.iii, where: mm The Month of the exported register. yy The Year of the exported register. iii The Account ID. Example: EXP0990.TUT, for September, 1990 Month, account TUT. Page 42 WinCheck Owner's Manual Settings WinCheck has a few settings that are individual to an account. These can be obtained by bringing up the Settings dialog from the File menu. Register Sorting When you open a new Register, this is the way it will sort the information initially. You can change the sorting for that particular window from the menu bar (Data... Sort). If the Headings box is checked, the headings caption will be displayed in the Register window. Statement Sorting When you open a new Statement, this is the way it will sort the information initially. You can change the sorting for that particular window from the menu bar (Data... Sort). If the Headings box is checked, the headings caption will be displayed in the Statement window. Check Type This defines your check type (Regular or Endstub). The only difference is the tab ordering of the data fields. Transaction WallpaperIf checked, a pattern will appear for each transaction (color systems only). Toolbox on Startup If checked, the Toolbox, an icon-based command menu, will appear when you start WinCheck (mouse systems only). Balance on Startup If checked, your current balance will be displayed when you start WinCheck. Password Protection If checked, you are prompted for a password when loading the account. Page 43 WinCheck Owner's Manual WinCheck Form Designer: The WinCheck form designer allows you to create or edit forms to print checks. There are several options you can do from the Form Designer: 1. Create a new template. Choose "New" from the File Menu to create a new template. 2. Load a form template. This will set your default printing template also. Choose "Load" from the File Menu. 3. Save a form template. This will save the template on the screen. It will not add it to your list of templates. If this template already exists in your list, it will update the file. 4. Save a form template and add it to your list. This will save the template, and allow you to give it a "human" description. When you load templates, you can load by description. 5. Change the form attributes. 6. Print a test form. You can use this to determine if your form is printing correctly. 7. Edit a template. Page 44 WinCheck Owner's Manual Form Attributes: A form describes one check. If you have three checks per page, you still want to describe the properties of only one check. Lines Per Inch This defines the number of lines per inch the template is designed for. Typically, you should leave this as six lines per inch. Characters Per Inch This defines the number of characters per inch the template is designed for. Typically you should leave this as 10 characters per inch. Form vertical size This defines how many lines deep your check is. If your check is three and one half inches deep, and you are using 6 lines per inch, then your check would be 21 lines deep. Form Horizontal size This defines how wide the form is. Usually eight inches wide, but some forms may be wider. Forms per page This defines the size of the Check Printing Queue. This should reflect the number of checks per page. Check Printing Queue: Windows is not capable of printing part of a page. Windows expects an entire page to be printed at a time. To overcome this limitation, WinCheck has a check queue. As you select the "Print" button from checks, WinCheck will add them to the Check queue. When the check queue is full (i.e. a page is full), then the entire page will print. On some printers, you can change the page size. Check with Windows Control Panel to see if your printer supports this. If your printer can accept a page size change, then you can change the size of the page to reflect the size of the check. In this case, it is possible to leave "forms per page" to 1, and have each check print individually. Page 45 WinCheck Owner's Manual Editing the form: You can edit the form on the workspace with the mouse only. A text field is a block on the form that indicates the area in which information can be printed. A text field has many attributes (see Text field attributes). Clicking and dragging the text field moves it. Double clicking on a text field will bring up the text attributes. Pressing the Delete key while the cursor is over a field will delete it. Pressing the Insert key will insert a new text field at the cursor location. Text Field Attributes: The text field has the following properties: Chars Wide This defines how many characters wide the field can be. Lines Deep This define how many lines deep a field can be. It is recommended that this value be set to 1 for all fields except the address field, which should be four lines deep. Check Field Type This defines what information will be in the field. If the field is set to "Text", then you can place characters in the field that will print on the form. Page 46 WinCheck Owner's Manual Printing Your First Check Printing the first check is the most work. Almost all of this work can be avoided by purchasing a check that matches the included check templates. The "Default LaserJet" template will print on the NEBS B9039-1 General Purpose Laser Check. NEBS can be reached at 1-800-225-9550. The "Default Epson" template was designed to print on the checks enclosed with the "Quicken" software package. Here are the steps that should be taken when you get ready to print checks the first time: 1. Purchase computer check forms from your favorite dealer. 2. Start up WinCheck, but do not put the forms in your printer yet. 3. If you are using a supported form, choose "Load Form Template" from the WinCheck Form Designer (Activated by choosing "Check Form Printer Setup" from the "File") menu. Step 4 should not be necessary. 4. If you want to create a new check form, choose "New Form Template" from the WinCheck form designer. Create the fields to fill in your check (double clicking the right button on the mouse adds a new field, or press the insert key). Describe the attributes of the field(s). Double clicking with the left button on an already existing field will allow you to edit the attributes. Double clicking with the left button on the "workspace" of the WinCheck form designer will allow you to describe you form attributes. Form attributes describe the size of one check. If you are using a laser printer, describe the full page (unless your check form has multiple checks per page). If you are using a dot-matrix printer, describe one check. If three checks fit on a page, you can indicate this. 5. Once you have described the "rough draft" (or loaded in an existing template), print a test form on plain paper. Hold the test form against your check form and make sure all of the fields line up (you can use a lightbulb to see through the papers). Click and drag fields to line them up. Page 47 WinCheck Owner's Manual 6. Repeat step 5 until your rough draft is OK. If you have not saved this template before, choose "Save & Add" from the WinCheck form designer. Describe your template however you want, and pick a filename. If you have previously saved your file, just choose "Save". 7. Now you are ready to print checks! Page 48 WinCheck Owner's Manual Password Protection WinCheck allows for password protection of data. In the settings Dialog Box, check the Password Protection box, and enter the same password in both edit fields. For your safety, Wilson WindowWare will not assist users in recovering data due to forgotten or lost passwords. Page 49 WinCheck Owner's Manual Tips & Techniques Take advantage of the Misc transaction. Direct Deposits, automatic withdrawals, service fees, and more can be entered here. Take advantage of the Type field in the Transaction dialogs. You can accurately and carefully track your finances this way. For example, you can break transactions out to be Personal or Business, Taxable or Non Taxable, or whatever your imagination decides. Other types fields could be rent, entertainment, shareware registration, utilities, or teenager expenses. Use the Common Transactions to the fullest! Bill paying can be just a few keystrokes or mouse clicks away. By using the Misc transaction for everything except checks, you can have detailed descriptions on the menu bar. Generally, it is a good idea to only reconcile when your bank statement arrives. This way you can use the Display Uncleared (from the data menu) to make sure you have not forgotten to enter any transactions. Once no transactions appear, you should be done balancing (everything has cleared the bank). Take advantage of the Transaction Details. You can put account numbers or other important information on the memo line for added security. If you purchase envelopes with windows, you can have the recipients address printed on your check so it views through the window. Take advantage of the Comments section so you can look back later. When you create form templates, please feel free to distribute them everywhere. Many other users would love to have pre-defined forms. A good description would be the form inventory number and manufacturer. Forms are device independent as long as you leave the lines per inch and characters per inch settings at their defaults (6 LPI and 10 CPI). Register this product!

Repeat step 2 for the video store. 4. Repeat step 2 for the coffee shop, except press the OK button. Page 51 WinCheck Owner's Manual Setting up WinCheck for Bill Paying 1. If your periodical bill (i.e. monthly, weekly, etc) is not on the Common menu, choose "Add" from the Common Menu. 2. If you pay your bill by check, choose "Check" from the Add menu. If you pay you bill electronically (such as automatic payments), choose "Misc" from the Add menu. 3. Fill in the fields to indicate the appearance of the bill. If the dollar amount varies for each time you get the bill, fill in the dollar amount for 0.00 or leave it blank. 4. If the transaction is the "Misc" type, fill in the description. 5. If the bill falls into a category other than "Personal", choose the category. 6. If the bill is paid by check, and you print your own checks, fill in the Details dialog. By indicating the address and account number of the bill, you can avoid having to enter it in the future. 7. Choose OK from the transaction. The bill will not be on the Common menu. Page 52 WinCheck Owner's Manual Paying Bills 1. If your periodical bill is not on the Common Menu, consider adding it (see above section, "Setting up WinCheck for Bill Paying"). 2. If you print checks, load your printer with the check forms, and note the check number. Otherwise, skip steps 3, 4 and 5. 3. If your bill is on the Common menu, select the bill, adjust the amount (if necessary), and press the PRINT button. 4. If your bill is not on the Common menu, select "Check" from the menu or toolbox, fill in the fields, and press the PRINT button. 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until your bills are paid. Ignore steps 6-8. 6. If you bill is on the Common menu, select the bill, adjust the amount (if necessary), and press the OK button. 7. If your bill is not on the Common menu, select "Check" from the menu or toolbox, fill in the fields, and press the OK or ANOTHER button (depending if you have more bills). 8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until your bills are paid. Page 53 WinCheck Owner's Manual Your Bank Statement Arrives 1. Open up a Statement window for the month. If you have transactions from the previous month that did not clear, you may need to open last month's Statement window also. Choose "Display Statement" from the File menu. 2. Choose "Display Uncleared Only" from the Data menu for each Statement Window. For example, if you have January and February's statements, activate January by clicking the mouse on it (or from the Window menu), and then choose Data... Display Uncleared. Do the same steps for February. 3. You will see a list of the transactions that have not yet cleared the bank. The ordering should closely math your bank statement. You may need to change the sorting order, this can be done through the File menu. 4. Compare the transactions on the bank's statement with your statement to make sure the amounts agree. If the amounts disagree, either contact your bank, or change your amounts to reflect the bank's statement. 5. Once the amounts agree, select the transactions that are on the bank's statement. You can select multiple transactions by holding down the CTRL key while selecting. 6. Choose "clear" from the Data menu. 7. Repeat steps 4-6 until all of the transactions on the bank's statement have been indicated. 8. Enter in your bank's service fees, if any. 9. Check your balance by either opening a register, or by pressing F2. The Bank's balance should match up. If you have made deposits that have not cleared, they may reflect on this balance. If you have, it will be necessary to open the register to examine the bank's balance on the closing day of your statement. Page 54 WinCheck Owner's Manual Payday! 1. If your paycheck(s) are on the Common menu, choose them, and press OK. You are done! 2. Otherwise, consider adding your payroll to the Common menu. If you are using direct deposit, you could use the "Misc" transaction to indicate this. Make sure that you check the "Credit" box on the Misc transaction to indicate that this transaction is adding money to your account. A night on the town Example:You head downtown, withdraw $50 from the cash machine, write a check for dinner, and withdraw another $50 for late night dancing. 1. Select "Cash Machine" from the Menu or Toolbox. Indicate the dollar amount and press ANOTHER to enter your second "hit" on the cash machine. Note that your bank's balance is updated immediately for cash machine withdrawals. To change this, uncheck the "Cleared" box before pressing the ANOTHER key. 2. Indicate the dollar amount for the second withdrawal, and press OK. 3. Enter your check for dinner. Page 55 WinCheck Owner's Manual Splitting a Transaction Example:You have written a check to your stockbroker for $1000.00. Of this amount, $500 is for stock, $250.00 is for a money market, and $250.00 is for a margin call. 1. Enter the check for $1000.00 and make sure that the type field displays "Split...". 2. Press OK or ANOTHER to bring up the split Dialog. 3. Type "500.00" into the amount field, and select "Stock" in the type field. If this category does not exists, type the word "Stock" into the field. 4. Press ADD. 5. Type "250.00" into the amount field, select "Money Mkt" (or type it in), and press ADD. 6. Do the same for "Margin". 7. Press OK. Page 56 WinCheck Owner's Manual Appendix A: WinCheck Messages The following is a list of WinCheck messages and their meanings.
