At the bottom of the list of Payees, there is a "Move" button.

Nevermind. I'm dense.

How do I "combine payees from previous downloads using Move"?
Am I just being dense, or is "Move" available somewhere?

The first step is the only one that you really need, but the others
could be useful:

Go to
Accounts&Bills-> Categories&Payees-> Payees-> PreferredPayeeNames
which shows how downloaded names are translated into Payees.
Record the Payee Name Variation(s) shown for your power company.
Delete the entries that are not necessarily your power company.

Then click on GoToPayeeRulesManager. Excluded Payee Names
identifies words and phrases that should be ignored from the payee
field (e.g., check, deposit). Consider adding each word or phrase
that were
listed as a Payee Name Variation that you recorded.

While you are at it, it is usually a good idea to select
Tools-> Options-> OnlineServices-> ReplacePayeeNames....

The thing that may well help you is to set
Tools-> Options/Settings-> OnlineServices-> ShowStandardizedPayeeNames
to combine payees that differ only by a number or punctuation. This
may work better after you have combined payees from previous
downloads using Move.

You may want to set
Tools-> Options-> OnlineServices-> AddADescriptionToTheMemoField

Default M04: Mis-identifying payee

I occasionally go to a particular ATM to make a withdrawal.
When I eventually download that transaction, M04 will automatically
change the Payee to my power company. The first time it happened,
I called my power company and asked them why they charged me $40.
But they didn't - M04 simply made the change. When I go onto my bank's
website, there's nothing in transaction that seems to suggest my power
company. M04 simply seems to be changing it for me.

This happens every single time I w/draw from a particular ATM.
Every other ATM shows up as a normal w/drawal.

Is there a way to get it to stop doing this?
