Experiment with a sample company’s data
Before you create a new company file, we recommend that you experiment with a sample company’s data. We have provided a sample company file, called Widgets & Co. This file contains sample data for you to experiment with. You can add, change, and remove data, as well as view and print reports.
To explore the Widgets company file
▪
Start your AccountEdge software and, in the welcome window that appears, click Explore the sample company. A command center window appears.
A command center window always appears when a company file is open. Notice that the name of the sample company, Widgets & Co., appears at the bottom left corner of the window.
Now that the Widgets & Co. company file is open, you can browse through the software, explore the transactions that have already been entered, and enter some transactions yourself.
