PHIL OLIVER - Mining Engineer and Technical Author

If you want to get to grips with the Quicken personal accounting package then this is the book for you. It was written with the Quicken DeLuxe 2000 version of the software with Windows 98, but would be useful for any version of Quicken.

The book explains:

• How to install and run Quicken on your PC and how to obtain on-screen help.

• How to come to grips with Quicken’s accounts, categories and classes and how to use them in the various registers.

• How to use the program to control your bank and building society accounts, your assets, loans and your credit cards.

• How to plan your finances using the Financial Calendar and the budget and forecast tools.

• How to use Quicken to control your investments in stocks and shares, unit trusts and ISAs, and how to update their prices from the Internet.

• How to create detailed reports and graphs to display your financial data meaningfully.

A glossary of financial and general computer terms is included, along with an appendix of the keyboard short-cut commands which can be used in Quicken.
