When I got my first voided check, I  created a transaction named 
"*VOID*" (no parenthesis), that is blank in the Transfer To field, the 
Debit field, and the Credit field. When entering a voided check after 
that, I type in the check number, and type "*VOID*" and GC remembers not 
to put in any amounts in the Transfer field, and the debit and credit 
columns... Or, if I have to void a check that has already been entered, 
I leave the check number alone and type... You guessed it! "*VOID*"! GC 
deletes the entries in the Transfer, Debit, and Credit fields... 
Autofill is nice. :-)
