Summary of Quicken 2001 for Macs for Dummies

From balancing a checkbook to preparing our taxes, Quicken 2001 For Macs For Dummies enables readers to get the most out of this powerful financial software. The book highlights the latest updates to Quicken while still covering al the basics. Absolute beginners to Quicken can refer to sections on installing the program and establishing basic accounts. Experienced Quicken users can refer to the book when calculating interest rates or preparing financial security for the future. The book also provides hassle-free instruction on the latest features for tracking loans, mortgages, and investments such as stocks and mutual funds. Special tips are included on bookkeeping without fear, surviving an audit, and banking online.
Put your New Year's resolutions about financial organization into practice while the task of computerizing all your money transactions is still manageable. Quicken 2001 for Macs for Dummies explains how Quicken 2001, the popular personal-finance program from Intuit, can help you monitor your money situation and make better decisions about saving, spending, borrowing, and investing. This book, which is meant for someone who's up to speed with the basics of personal finance, but not very familiar with computerized accounting, focuses on Quicken's operation rather than on the figures that the program tracks. Author Stephen Nelson tells you how to record purchases and sales of mutual fund shares, for example, but doesn't attempt to argue for or against that kind of investing.

Nelson's instructions for using Quicken's numerous features are detailed, yet easy; they're typical of the Dummies series. He's chosen to back no-frills instructions--"Enter the check amount"--with explanatory text that deals with questions of formatting (Do I include the dollar sign?) and how to deal with unusual situations. This book would be better if Nelson had included advice on accounting for unusual transactions, such as options redemptions and short sales of shares, but what's here is more than adequate for someone with a couple of bank accounts, a mortgage, a credit card or two, and some simple investments. --David Wall

Topics covered: Intuit Quicken 2001 for Mac OS, for people who haven't used the program before. The author explains how to account for transactions in checking, savings, and credit accounts. He also shows how to keep track of home equity and mortgages, as well as investments in stocks, bonds, and funds.
