Quicken 2013D is almost unusable for me

Dec 24, 2012 3 Replies

I just upgraded from 2011D to 2013D, taking advantage of the combo deal at Amazon.



2013 is neat in one respect - you can use it on your Kindle Fire and I assume on any Android device. Having to constantly sync with the cloud may be too much trouble. BUT - the font on my Banking accounts is so large that it is not usable. There is no way to modify these except choosing a different font and that is really bad. Messages on the internet say that this was a problem in 2012, and that Intuit is either unable or unwilling to fix it. What's new? I'm still exploring why I can't download from my bank account, but can from my credit cards. I may soon just return this for a refund, I have a few more days to decide.

This is why I ONLY go to a newer version of Q when I absolutely have to, I.e. to still be able to D/L stock prices.

n 2012, H&B go to the Edit menu, click on preferences, click on register. At the bottom is a font button where you can choose font and font size, as well as colors for different accounts. Is this what you want? Don't know if this is different in 2013.

I had the same complaint and spent a lot of time changing the register font until I found found one that is okay. Edit=>Preferences=>Register=>Fonts. There are a lot of choices and I finally settled on font: Utsaah, size: 8.
