1. Forms Basics

Intro

You can change the look and content of printed checks, invoices, pay stubs, purchases, packing slips, and more. Once you customize your form, you can save it so that you can select it when you print or email the form later on.

Customizing forms in AccountEdge makes it easy to use pre-printed checks and forms that you may already have for your business. Make the necessary edits to the default form and save the template for use later.

You can customize the following forms in AccountEdge:

  • • Checks
  • • Paychecks
  • • Receipts
  • • Payment Notifications
  • • Invoices
  • • Statements
  • • Retainers
  • • Purchase Orders
  • • Pay Stubs
  • • Mailing Labels
  • • W2s and W3s
  • • 1099s and 1096s

Sharing Customized Forms on a Network

Customized forms are saved to the Forms folder on your local computer. If you share a company file across a network and you want other users to be able to access the customized forms you create:

  • 1. Copy the customized form from your local folder to the Forms folder on the host computer.
  • 2. Then copy the forms to the Forms folder on each workstation that accesses the company file.

NOTE : Back up the forms folder before customizing any forms so you can always revert to the originals if needed.
