Deed calls are entered in a bearing / distance format. To enter a call, begin by clicking on the N-S text box. Then type either N or S and enter. Upon entering, the focus will move to the next text box. To continue, type the appropriate information in the next text box and enter. After the deed call has been entered, either enter (if the Add button has the focus) or click on the Add button to add the call to the bottom of the description list box.

A valid deed call must include a N-S direction, E-W direction and a distance. All other values can be empty or zero.
