Thanks for keeping in touch with us here, @lrhmail451. I'm here to share with you the detailed steps in copying and pasting accounts in QuickBooks Desktop.

To paste the account in the journal entry, you'll have to click the Account field first, then paste it. The steps below will ensure your success with this:

1. From the Chart of Accounts window, select the account you want to copy.
2. Click the Edit menu and select Copy Account. Alternatively, you can utilize the shortcut keys (CTRL + C).
3. To paste it in the journal entry, you'll have to click the Account field first, then click the Edit menu and select Paste Account or press CTRL + V.
   

You can also check out our list of keyboard shortcuts to make you more efficient at doing certain tasks on QuickBooks Desktop.

As another option, you can select the desired account from the drop-down list, so you don't have to go back and forth from the Chart of Accounts.

1. Click the Account drop-down arrow.
2. Enter a keyword.
3. Click the account from the list.
   

We also have an helpful guide on creating journal entries. It has the instructions on how to add, edit, reverse, and delete a journal entry.
