Text Box: Just a refresher on how you start a new year set of books in PC Mars for Windows. First—make sure that you have no books open by clicking on the icon picture that looks like a closed book. Second—Click on the word File. Third—When the submenu opens up, one of the options is Create New Set of Books. If you click on those words with your mouse another submenu will show up off to the side with two options. 1. Start from scratch 2. Carry over from previous year If you already had a set of books made up for 2003, you should select the option that reads Carry over from Previous Year. This option will move all of your carry over from previous year (screen shot)Text Box: sure that this is what you want to do. If everything is correct, you should click on the Yes button. If for some reason you need to change something, clicking on the No button will back you up to the previous window so you can start over. Once you click Yes, a new set of books is created for the 2004 year.
