How to Fit Register onto Screen??

larrykarp

I upgraded to the new online version of Business recently. My register no longer fits on my screen in one view, I need to continually scroll to the right to see the payment, deposit and balance columns. I'm using Windows 10 and a 32" monitor. How can I fix this to see everything left to right on the register without scrolling?

Note that the size (32") isn't what is important, what is, is the effective resolution.

Quicken expects an effected resolution of at least 1024x768.

And of course this is also dependent on how wide you make each field in the register, and how wide the account bar is (note you can minimize the account bar to save space).

This is how much can space is available with the account bar at the minimum width and a resolution of 1024x768.

And note that the account bar can be increase in width to see more of the account names.

Now let's say I turn on "View -> Use Large Fonts", this is about 1.25 magnification.  This actually lowers it to below what Quicken wants and it will warn you about it.  It still has space, but some of the dialogs might not fit.

The other way you can change the "effective resolution" is with Windows scaling.

Anything other than 100% is magnifying everything on the screen.  So if you set it to 125% for instance then you have to divide the screen resolution by 1.25 (1024/1.25 = 819.2)  to get how many "pixels" Quicken has to use for your register.  And if you combine the (View -> Use Large Fonts) there is even less pixels to use.

Here it is with 125% (Use Large Fonts off).

"new online version of Business"  ??????

There is no online version of Quicken Business.

Are you talking about Quickbooks?  If so, here is there forum: QB Forum

Thanks Chris, my size of text was set at 150% (Recomended). I decreased that and obviously it made everything smaller, but Q fits on the screen.
