1. In the checking account register that you're using to make the payment, find the new transaction line.
2. Change the date if necessary.
   • Tips about entering a date
     You can enter a new date directly over the date Quicken puts in the Date field. You don't have to type the slashes. You don't even have to type the year, because if it's the current year, Quicken entered it already.
3. In the Num field, enter the check number.
4. In the Payee field, enter the name of the credit card company.
5. In the Payment field, enter the amount of the payment.
6. In the Category field, select the matching credit card account from the drop-down list.
   • What is the matching credit card account?
     This step assumes that you've set up an account for your credit card as well as your checking account. If you have done so, the credit card account will appear in your Category List, enclosed in [square brackets]. (Be sure to click the Transfers tab at the left of the Category List.)
7. Click Save.
   • What happens now?
