If you are new to using Quicken, there may be a few useful resources at their web site(www.quicken.com), or other web sites around the land. However, learning to enter checks into the register may just be the tip of the iceberg as far as future questions you may have.

My recommendation is to invest into a non-expensive book such as "Quicken 2001 for Dummies" at your local book store. I am not condescending your intellegence in anyway, and such a book will have graphical representations of tasks which is much easier to learn from.

Hope this helps.

The book and web sites would be a good place to start.
Could you be more specific about your problem?
It also depends on how you have the account register set up, and what you want to track.

On my setup;
The first column is the date.
The next column is transaction type. For checks, I use the prompt for next number. Otherwise, I select the appropriate transaction.
Next is who the check is written to, or the account for a transfer.
Then the amount.
Then the description field. This is where you setup to track your spending and tax information.
Next is a note field.

Finally, you can either press enter, or click on the enter button to record the transaction in the register.

In settings, you can set Quicken so that the enter key will cycle you from field to field.

Thats my quick overview of check entry.
If you have a more specific question, I will attempt to answer it.
