Data Entry Features
When I am entering transactions into PCLaw, I cannot see the entire window on my monitor. How can
I fix this?
Please change your monitor resolution to 800 x 600 or higher. If you do not know how to do this, please contact
your computer technician.
When I am entering transactions into PCLaw, the date that automatically appears is not today's date.
How can I make it use today's date by default?
When you start PCLaw, it reads your computer's system date and uses that date by default.
When you enter your password, you have the option of overriding the PCLaw date. If the date that appears on
data entry windows is not today's date, your computer system does not have the correct date or the date is being
overridden when PCLaw is started.
What G/L account should I use when entering a client expense recovery?
If you are using the Simplified Set of G/L Accounts, use the Client Recovery account.
If you are using the Extended Set of G/L Accounts:
• Use the Expense account (for example, Photocopy Expense) to see the net result of expenses minus
recoveries on the Income Statement.
• Use the Recovery account (for example, Photocopy Recovery) to see the total firm expense and the total
firm recoveries separately on the Income Statement.
For more information, see the Frequently Asked Questions chapter of the PCLaw for Windows User Guide.

changed from within PCLaw. Some printers allow you to change the font directly on the printer itself.
You can, however, use alternate fonts if you de-select Quick Check Printing and use a check template on the
Banking tab of Options - System Settings. You can change the font by modifying the check template in Tools -
Template Editor. After modifying the template, test the changes by printing a check on blank paper and holding
