Copy several transactions?

How can I copy several transactions at once to paste into another file?


Since Quicken 2005 you can select multiple transactions in the register using the Windows conventions. Click on the first transaction, scroll down to the last trasnaction and hold down Shift while clicking on it to mark all the intervening trnasactions. Now Cut/Copy and Move will operate on all selected transactions.

Versions prior to 2005 does not have this ability. It is one of the many features that posters so often complain is removed from newer versions of Quicken.

Use the usual Windows select function, i.e. contiguous - select the first transaction then hold the SHIFT key and select the last transaction or non-contagious - hold the CTRL key while selecting transactions. Now depending on your Quicken settings, whether it is set to use the standard CTRL+C (COPY) and CTRL+V (PASTE) or the Quicken keyboard key strokes, copy and paste.
