I find it easiest to adjust the preferences (Edit:Preferences:Register Defaults:Default Style) so that Register Style is my default.  That means I see all the splits all the time.  [Some may not like this.]

GnuCash is a very high quality product and once you overcome this hurdle
you will find it to work quite well.

If you read the sections of manual described in other responses to your
original email then follow Derek 's suggestions you should have excellent
results.

This did not seem to work. I can enter the split accounts and amounts OK
but cannot save the entry (Save is greyed out). If I hit the <Enter> key
after entering the last account, the entire transaction disappears.

I have worked around this bug by entering three separate transactions
totaling the amount of the check. The balance is correct and the expenses
are also correct. However when I run an Income and Expense report, the
amounts I entered do not show or show in the wrong place.

Very disappointed. I know this is a free program but now there are these
problems. I don't believe the Windows updates caused them but it is
possible.

Nathan,

The first time it can be a little tricky.  First select one of the
transaction view options that will show the splits, then practice using the
tab key to move the curser from box to box.  For practice you can enter
garbage text because it is easy to delete your practice mistakes.

I am almost sure someone has figured out how to enter what I call a
split transaction - writing one check to cover multiple expense accounts.

I cannot seem to get this to work properly.
