I am Jins here to assist you. Infact you can't use Quicken on your ipad. Because, Intuit is not producing a Quicken version for iPad. But you can use an application named QIF Entry. This app allows you to enter Quicken transactions with your iPad. You can export the entered transactions into a file (in QIF) and then import them into Quicken.
Guys:
Thanks for chiming in.
The checks are from Harland Clarke. The image shows the misalignment problems. The differences between the top 4 fields (date, payee, check amountx2) are minimal. You can see that if I lower everything any more to make a better alignment for payee and amount, the date starts to overlap the line, and the MEMO text goes further down. Adjust Alignment settings are X -0, Y -18. The check image in the 'Quicken' panel of the Print dialog box doesn't show anything close to the attached image.....all proposed printing is too low, as in Y -18, meaning the check image in the Quicken panel presumes X -0, Y -0 corresponds to perfect alignment, at least with the check image. But the check image differs from the actual printed check.
I don't understand how perfect alignment for the top 4 fields further misaligns the MEMO field, for a Standard style check. I earlier went so far as to get a template for a Standard style check from Intuit, and my check printing fields lined up with it perfectly, as I would expect them to.
Have a great weekend. I'll pick up with this thread next Monday or Tuesday. Thank you again for responding.
John,
I'm not seeing the problem with columns not showing up in reports, but maybe it depends which one? I'm doing a New Report > Transaction > By Category report, and when I add the check number and Memo fields, they do show up in the printed report -- and in the order I put them on-screen. Are you sure the fields aren't there, but just not on the first page? Let me explain...
The report formatting is so awful that it's virtually unusable if you add any optional fields. It's as if the developers verified that adding or removing fields worked, but didn't try a simple real-world example of a report with 5 or 6 of these columns to see that the results are a mess.
The problem appears to be that the printed report sizes each column to the maximum width of the data in the column -- ignoring how the user may have tweaked them on-screen. In the case of the fields like Payee and Memo/Notes, this results in wide columns. The result is that the data on a line doesn't fit on one page, so Quicken allows it to go onto two pages -- one with the first four or five columns, the next page with the remaining one or two columns. That's just not useable. That's not want people would want 99% of the time. There should be a checkbox, defaulted to being checked, for 'Shrink wide pages to fit' (as there was in Quicken 2007).
What you can do as a workaround for the time being is to click Print on the report, and when the Print panel drops down, make sure it is in Detail mode. (If the button at the bottom says 'Show Details', click it; if it says 'Hide Details', you're in the full detail mode.) This gives you access to the 'Scale' field in the dialog box. Now, experiment. Try making the scale 80%, and then click on the PDF menu in the lower left, and select 'Open PDF in Preview'. Does this preview of your report contain all the fields going across? If yes, close the preview and try a lesser reduction, such as 85% or 90%; if not, try a greater reduction, such as 70% or 60%. Then test again 'Open PDF in Preview', repeating as needed until you can see all the fields on the page, at the least amount of reduction. Then you can print the preview (or print from Quicken). It's pain, it may result in text in a size that you find too small, but at least you can get a report printed with your data.
I encourage you to use Report a Problem option on the Quicken Help menu to send in a note about this. If enough people comment, we can hopefully get the developer to understand that the New Report formatting, which more flexible, still misses the mark.
