An unusual problem with Q' 2007 Don J 09-25-2006

I'm running Quicken 2007 with Win XP, It has a problen which smells like a
2007 problem to me, since I didn't see it while I was using 2006. I
generate a transaction document. The document has many overlapping
collumns. Sometimes they are overlapping so much that I cannot see what the
lines are. Under Q' 2006 I could use the mouse to widen the collumns. I
cannot do it with Q' 2007. The result is that I cannot fully comprehend the
report.

I.ve tried everything. The first thing I did was to uninstall Quicken, turn
off the machine, then reinstall Quicken again. Then I created a new volume
and reinstalled Quicken a second time. The effect was the same both times,
I was unable to widen the columns.

There is at least one situation in Q2006 where you can not
change report column widths when you should be able to. I don't
have Q2007, so I have no idea whether this could be part of your
problem or not.

In Q2006 (if the report's column widths are normally sizeable),
if the report has subtotals and a subtotal line is the first
line on the page, you can not alter column widths. Scroll the
report until a transaction is the first line on the page, and
the column widths can be altered.

For the overlapping columns, I would start by looking at printer
setup and printer drivers. There have been quite a few printing
problems reported with Q2007, but I don't recall any of them
about overlapping columns. You could check the Intuit forums
and if you don't find any problems like yours, add a post there.

These are two different problems. The problem Pollard describes is really
in the nature of a nuissance since I was using Q' 2006 for a year and never
noticed it. If it does occure it should be easy enough to pad a line or two
so that the subtotal no longer appears as the first line on a page.
