I added a new checking account.

The account displays as a report sheet. How do I change the display to look like a traditional register (as do all of the other accounts on my system)?

Is it listed in the Account Bar on the side? When you click on it in the side bar what happens? Does it only show a 1 line display and your accounts show 2 lines?

You can change from a 1 line display to a 2 line display or back. To change to 2 line display, go to the register you want to change and select "Account Actions". Then enable Two-line display. Or there is a shortcut (Ctrl + 2) which toggles the setting. This only works for non-investment accounts.

You can add or remove columns to most of the registers, some kinds of accounts you can't, like investments. Click on the Gear Icon right above the balance column.

Does the register show 2 amount columns? Or just the single amount column? There are actually 3 columns...Payments, Deposit (or Charges & Payments) and Amount and then the Balance column. Don't use the single Amount column. Delete that column and just use the other 2 columns.
