Deja Vu - How to print BILL AND INCOME REMINDER LIST including MEMO fields?

I asked this about a year ago and forgot the answer if indeed it was possible. I'd like to print the BILLS and INCOME REMINDER list

*including* the memo field, because that contains in my case information about how I receive the bill, how it is paid (Check, Online, Cash Transfer, etc.) that I enter in this field.

The Print function doesn't show the memo field.

I could have sworn there was a report or facility to do this??

(I promise I'll record this in my cheat sheet this time if I get a positive reply)

I don't believe that is possible.

Neither does the Reminder list itself - which is probably where the problem begins.

You can probably get a printout of your Reminders on a one-account per report basis, by having Quicken "Show" reminders in the account register; then selecting an appropriate register date range, and using CTRL+p to print. [You probably want a date range that includes the fewest instances of each reminder (since each instance will just repeat the memo text) - and that will depend on the frequency of the reminders.]

[I suspect that the ability to print more of the Bill and Income Reminders List would be a benefit, which could be submitted as an "Idea" post in the Quicken Community (and someone may already have done that, so maybe all that's needed are more votes for the idea). Quite some time ago, a new Quicken release showed many more columns in the Bill and Income Reminders List, which would have been nice in its own right and would have made it more likely that a report of the list would include those additional fields. But apparently the new List format caused too many problems and it was removed.]

I was going to suggest printing the reminders with the memo field displayed from the "Bill, Income, & Transfers" view but it appears Quicken still hasn't corrected the crash it causes. I suppose you could print the view using a screen capture.

Thanks guys. Maybe that is indeed (screen capture multiple images)what I did before.

This is to provide the wife with what bills get paid and how. Some by check, some by BillPay, some are billed directly to a credit card, some are pulled from the checking account directly by the biller....etc. This is the type of info I keep in the memo field on a per payee basis.

When you use CTRL+p to print your account register, you won't be printing an "image", you'll be printing a "report".

[CTRL+p is the same as going to the File menu and selecting "Print xxxxx" (where xxxxx is the name of what will be printed - in this case, the name of the account whose register you will be printing). For account registers, you can get the same CTRL+p report by choosing Print Transactions from the Account Actions gear-wheel icon dropdown.] [NOTE: Apparently the Reminders "shown" in a register are not considered when applying register filters (all "shown" Reminders will be remain visible regardless of what register filters are set).]

Why not make an Excel worksheet with each payee and place your memo comments theere? I think the info does not change frequently enough to cause a problem

Good question. The main reason I suppose is that I don't like to have data replicated more than in one location if I can help it. If I did the EXCEL suggestion, there might be a chance that something in Quicken would change that I would forget to go to this secondary data source to keep in sync.

When I pay the bill (or see it get auto-entered by Q, that comment is 'in my face' and I see it right at the time the bill is being taken care of.

I'm a BIG believer in only keeping data in one location. I would rather have it WRONG in one place than differing in TWO different locations, even if one of those two were correct.

/wish-list on. (I've always said, only half joking, that IBM ought to keep a huge DB2 database in Kansas or Nebraska, and ALL the countries's data is stored in ONE place without any replication of any one specific data field. Everything related to, say, your name (store only once) would be a relational entity off of that....your social security data, your kid's names, your library book account, and so on.) /wish-list off.
