QuickFill Enhancement
New with version 2005 is a slight change on the QuickFill. QuickBooks has long been described as easy to use with one of the major reasons being the QuickFill feature. As a name from a list is typed, QuickBooks automatically tries to complete the entry by finding the next entry that matches what has been typed. If a match is not found, it is possible to add the name to the list during that data entry process.
The change with version 2005 combined the best of both of the previous alternatives: rather than typing the name until the correct one appears (which can be well into the word) or choosing the inefficient alternative of reaching for the mouse to use the pull down list to choose the correct name, as the name is typed, the pull down list automatically appears with only those alternatives which match. It is then a couple down arrows and press return to choose that particular name.
