I thought my above response answered these questions. Guess I wasn't clear
enough.

To go to the matching transaction (the "old" Ctrl-X) click on "Edit" in the
menu bar at the top of the Quicken window, then click on "Transaction" in
the resulting submenu, then click on "Go to matching transaction" in the
next submenu. As an alternative you can select these menu items by typing in
"erg" while holding down the "ALT" key on your keyboard ( often described as
Alt-erg).

Also, the "Edit" command item that appears with the selected transaction
(alongside "Enter" and "Split") may, for some account types, have a "Go to
matching transfer" item in its command list. The shortcut for this is
Alt-dg). If that doesn't work, you might try just right-clicking inside the
selected transaction and look for a "Go to matching transfer" command in the
resulting menu.

To void a transaction, click "Edit" in the top menu bar then "Transaction"
then "Void Transaction(s)". Or you can use the "Edit" command for the
selected transaction, which may have a "Void transaction(s)" command. This
works for checking, savings and credit card accounts but not for investment
accounts. I'm not sure you can void an investment transaction; I think you
have to delete it (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

Is this clear enough? If not, post back and I or someone else will try
again.
