hi,
I want to re-organize my transactions into the correct accounts.
I know I can "CUT" from the original account and "PASTE" in the destination
account.
It takes a lot of work.
Is there a way to select the required transactions and do a "move" instead?

With double entry bookkeeping each transaction affects at least two
account. Understand? A transaction is never "in" just one account.
"How do I change one of these accounts?" Open the transaction in the
other account. In edit transaction mode, respecify the other account..If
the error was in a slit transaction, find it in any of the other
account, enter split mode, and respecify the one that is wrong.
"How do I change both accounts? Do the previous process twice, fix
one, then from that account, fix the other.
"How do I do this according to more formal bookkeeping procedures?"
In more formal bookkeeping, once entered, a transaction is never
altered. I am not talking about wile you were working, but when
correcting at some later date. Instead, you enter a transaction to
correct the account making it clear what you are doing in the description.
