When printing the Account Summary Report, the Savings data does not align properly. Why? (Q Mac)

MegAnn

It looks perfect on the screen but when I print the Savings data gets pushed too far to the right. Only the first 2 digits of the number are printed.

@MegAnn Thanks for explaing the report you're using. It's not one I regularly print, and I don't have any accounts classified as Savings, which is why I didn't initially understand.

I've been playing with the report and for me, all the values show properly aligned when I try printing it. I even created a dummy Savings account with $10,000, and it lines up with all the other accounts, as you can see here:



I tried changing the Page Setup from horizontal to vertical, and the values were lined up either way. I tried changing the name of my saving account to something quite long, like "Bill & Ted's Excellent 21st Century Savings and Loan" and the value still lined up properly. 

So please describe -- or better, show with a screen shot or part of a PDF  as explained above -- what's different for you.

Side note: this is one of the "old reports" which was inherited from the Quicken Essentials product which was the predecessor to the current Quicken Mac. (It has a number of flaws with it; for instance, if you collapse a section by clicking on the little triangle to the left of the seciton heading, it works onscreen -- but the printed report ignores the closure and prints all your accounts.) The developers are in the process of building out the features and functionality of the "New Report" engine, and will eventually replace most or all of the old reports with new ones. The new reports have an architecture designed to allow more user customizability. That doesn't help one bit with the current situation, but I wanted to let you know this may be revamped in the future to be more flexible.

@MegAnn Can you be more specific about exactly how you are creating this report? Are you starting from "New Report" on the Reports menu, or using one of the reports below that on the menu? (There are "old" and "new" reports in Quicken currently, each with different capabilities and quirks, so I want to make sure I understand what you're trying before suggesting a possible alternative.)

Also, when you're referring to "Savings data", could you clarify what that is, as that's not a Quicken term. Which column in Quicken is being cut off?

MegAnn

Under "Reports". I click "Account Summary". There are several account groupings: Checking, Savings, Investing, etc. The one account I have under "Savings" is a bank CD. It's value is printed one column too far to the right. Hence, only the first 2 digits are visible. The rest of the number is off the page.

Can you "print" this report to PDF and then capture the PDF view and attach it here (or print on paper and take a picture)?

Can you please capture one or more images of the parts of your Quicken window showing the issue, sensitive information blacked out as necessary to protect your privacy but annotated to describe the situation, and attach the image(s) here?
The Windows Snipping Tool (available with Windows 7 and up) can be used to capture a partial screen image and save it to a file.  Microsoft Paint can be used to annotate the image.
