An unusual problem with Q' 2007

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.
