+        <listitem><menuchoice><guimenu>View</guimenu><guimenuitem>Auto-Split Ledger</guimenuitem></menuchoice>

+    <title>Using Entry Shortcuts</title>
+    
+    <para><application>&app;</application> provides several time-saving shortcuts for entering your
+        data. When you type the first few characters of a description that you
+        have used before, the QuickFill feature automatically fills in the rest of
+        the transaction as you last entered it. When you type in the first
+        characters of an account name in either the <guilabel>Transfer</guilabel>
+        field of the transaction line or the <guilabel>Account</guilabel> field of
+        the split line, QuickFill will automatically complete the name from your
+        account list. It also helps you with entering sub-accounts in these
+        fields: simply type the first characters of the parent account name
+        followed by a <keycap>:</keycap> (colon) and the first characters of the sub-account name. For
+        example, to enter <emphasis>Assets:Checking</emphasis>, you might type

+        number. This will also work in the <guilabel>Action</guilabel> field of
+        the split line, if you choose to enter split numbers there. The
+        <guilabel>Action</guilabel> field also supports QuickFill - if you type

+        <guilabel>Deposit</guilabel>), <application>&app;</application> will fill in the rest.</para>
+    
+    <para>The <guilabel>Transfer</guilabel> field supports QuickFill
+        of account names.  You can start typing an account name and
+        <application>&app;</application> will fill in the remaining part of the name.  Typing the
+        separator character at any time will complete the current level of
+        the account name, leaving the cursor positioned to start the next
+        level of account name.  For example, typing <keycap>A:C</keycap> the
+        standard set of account names will complete to the
+        <emphasis>Assets:Checking</emphasis> account.  You can also type the
+        <keycap>Menu</keycap> or <keycombo><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>Down</keycap></keycombo> keys in this

+        in the second value. <application>&app;</application> will perform the calculation and return the

+    
+    <para>All of the menu items have access keys defined, and these are marked
+        by underlined characters in the menu names. Press <keycap>Alt</keycap> +
+        [underlined character] to bring up the menu, then select an item by typing
+        its underlined character. For example, typing <keycombo>
+            <keycap>Alt</keycap>
+            
+            <keycap>A</keycap>
+        </keycombo> brings up the Actions menu, then typing

A transaction with three or more accounts is called a <emphasis>split transaction</emphasis>.</para>
+    <para>When the register is in Basic view, you will see a summary of the splits affecting the current account. For a simple transaction, the <guilabel>Transfer</guilabel> column will display the other account from which money is <emphasis>transferred</emphasis>.

+    <para>For split transactions, the first line of the transaction is the

-
-      <para>The <emphasis>Titlebar</emphasis> of the account register displays the account name,
-      which in this case is <emphasis>Assets:Checking</emphasis>. Below the
-      <emphasis>Titlebar</emphasis>, the <emphasis>Menubar</emphasis> displays the menu items available within the
-      account register, and the <emphasis>Toolbar</emphasis> contains handy buttons that help you
-      work with the account register.</para>
-
-      <para>Although each transaction has at least two splits, all you see in
-      the basic register is a summary of the splits affecting the current
-      account. In the <guilabel>Transfer</guilabel> column, you can see the other account from
-      which money is <emphasis>transferred</emphasis> into or out of this
-      account. If the transaction affects more than two accounts, <application>&app;</application>
-      displays <guilabel>-- Split Transaction --</guilabel> to show it is a
-      multiple-split transaction. You can see the individual splits of each
-      transaction by clicking the <guibutton>Split</guibutton> button in the
-      <emphasis>Toolbar</emphasis> while selecting the appropriate transaction.</para>
-
-      <para>For split transactions, the first line of the transaction is the
-      <emphasis>transaction line</emphasis>. It contains a
-      <guilabel>Date</guilabel>, optional <guilabel>Num</guilabel> (such as a
-      check number), transaction <guilabel>Description</guilabel>, total
-      amount affecting the current account (<guilabel>Tot Deposit</guilabel>
-      here), and updated account <guilabel>Balance</guilabel> after the
-      current transaction. Note that in the expanded view, the
-      <guilabel>Transfer</guilabel> column heading disappears, and there is no
-      account name listed in that field. This line shows you only a summary of
-      the transaction&rsquo;s effect on the current account. For more detailed
-      information, you need to look at the individual splits that make up the
-      transaction.</para>
-
-      <para>The partial lines below the transaction line are the
-      <emphasis>split lines</emphasis>, and they are separated by gray lines.
-      As you highlight one of the split lines, the column headings change to
-      show the split-related fields:</para>

-
-      <para>Each split contains an optional <guilabel>Action</guilabel>, or
-      type of split, which you can either type in or choose from a pull-down
-      list. The split also contains an optional <guilabel>Memo</guilabel>
-      which describes the split. Each split affects an
-      <guilabel>Account</guilabel>, which can be selected from a pull-down
-      list of your accounts. The <guilabel>R</guilabel> field indicates
-      whether the split has been reconciled. The last two columns show the

-      account.</para>
-
-      <para>As we discussed in <xref linkend="basics-accounting1" />, total
-      debits (left-column entries) must equal total credits (right-column
-      entries) for each transaction. In the example shown above, the total
-      debits equal the total credits, so this transaction is balanced. If you
-      notice, the transaction line contains the same debit amount as the
-      <guilabel>Checking</guilabel> split line. Why is this shown twice?
-      Because the transaction line is merely a <emphasis>summary</emphasis> of
-      the transaction&rsquo;s effect on the current account. The same transaction in
-      a different account will have a different transaction line, one that

-    <title>Choosing a Register Style</title>
-
-    <para><application>&app;</application> offers several options for viewing your registers. The
-    default style is <guilabel>Basic Ledger</guilabel> mode, which displays
-    only the summary of splits affecting the current account. This is the
-    style that most closely resembles other popular personal financial
-    packages.</para>
-
-    <para>You can choose a different register style by selecting
-    <menuchoice><guimenu>View</guimenu><guimenuitem>Auto-Split Ledger</guimenuitem></menuchoice>
-    style expands the current transaction automatically. As you highlight a
-    new transaction in the register, the transaction automatically expands to
-    show all splits. The <menuchoice><guimenu>View</guimenu><guimenuitem>Transaction
-    Journal</guimenuitem></menuchoice> style is more like an accounting journal, in which
-    all splits are shown for all transactions.</para>
-
-    <para>All styles permit you to view your data in either single-line or
-    double-line format. Select <menuchoice><guimenu>View</guimenu>
-    <guimenuitem>Double Line</guimenuitem></menuchoice>, and you will see your transaction
-    line expand to two register lines.</para>
-    
-    <para>Let&rsquo;s have a closer look at how the Basic Ledger and Transaction Journal view differs.
-    </para>
-    <para>For this example, let&rsquo;s assume that you have a checking account with $10,000,
-    and have decided to really splurge by purchasing 3 pair of Jeans for $1,000.
-    Now, you can either record this as one simple transaction and move $1,000 to <emphasis>Expenses:Clothes</emphasis>.
-    Or, you can record a split transaction, and record each Jeans individually.</para>
-    <para>Technically they are the same, but from an accounting point of view, when you 
-    record each Jeans purchase separately, the <emphasis>Expenses:Clothes</emphasis> account will record three
-    different transactions.</para>
-    <para>The below screenshots will illustrate this a bit better</para>

-     If you look carefully, you will see that each row have a different amount, $200, $300, and $500.

-    <title>Using Entry Shortcuts</title>
-
-    <para><application>&app;</application> provides several time-saving shortcuts for entering your

-      have used before, the QuickFill feature automatically fills in the rest of
-      the transaction as you last entered it. When you type in the first
-      characters of an account name in either the <guilabel>Transfer</guilabel>
-      field of the transaction line or the <guilabel>Account</guilabel> field of
-      the split line, QuickFill will automatically complete the name from your
-      account list. It also helps you with entering sub-accounts in these
-      fields: simply type the first characters of the parent account name
-      followed by a <keycap>:</keycap> (colon) and the first characters of the sub-account name. For
-      example, to enter <emphasis>Assets:Checking</emphasis>, you might type
-      <userinput>A:C</userinput> and let <application>&app;</application> fill in the rest.</para>
-    <warning><para>Because <keycap>:</keycap> is the account separator symbol,

-
-    <para>In the <guilabel>Num</guilabel> field of the transaction line, you
-    can type <keycap>+</keycap> to increment the transaction number from the
-    last one you typed in. Typing <keycap>-</keycap> will decrement the
-    number. This will also work in the <guilabel>Action</guilabel> field of
-    the split line, if you choose to enter split numbers there. The
-    <guilabel>Action</guilabel> field also supports QuickFill - if you type
-    the first characters of a common action (such as

-    <para>The <guilabel>Transfer</guilabel> field supports QuickFill

-    separator character at any time will complete the current level of
-    the account name, leaving the cursor positioned to start the next
-    level of account name.  For example, typing <keycap>A:C</keycap> the
-    standard set of account names will complete to the
-    <emphasis>Assets:Checking</emphasis> account.  You can also type the
