Rounding of Numeric Check Amounts

dwormuth

Using Quicken R25.21 Build 27.1.25.21, all of a sudden, when I print checks, the numeric amount to the right of the Payee is rounded to the nearest dollar. This is MOST annoying.

Anyone else seeing this? I put in a BUG report a week ago but no response

Hmmm ... based on the amount in words, the printed numeric amount is rounded to the nearest full dollar:
21.56 turns into $**22
740.88 becomes $**741

I've never seen any of my Quicken for Windows versions do that and I don't remember ever reading about this here in the Community.

But guess what ... Quicken Help has the answer for you:

I'm not sure if this will help, but if you right click on the account name, there is a button that says, "show cents in amounts." It needs to be checked for the account you are in. I don't know how to get the cents when writing checks, if this doesn't work.

That setting only affects the display of the Account Bar itself.

@dwormuth, can you show us a screen shot of the Write Checks dialog so we can see what you're seeing? As far as I know, no one has ever reported this problem before.

You hand-wrote on the numeric amounts. Show us what Q actually presents without obscuring it.

Look at the left-hand stub amount value

Great find, @UKR !

Did this solve your problem, @dwormuth ?

Although I never changed it (famous last words...), and it said 2 when I first opened the box, I did change values and reset then to 2 digits and the problem was then corrected.

Thanks for the help.
