SYMPTOMS

When you print an account directly from the Account Register, the opening balance and the running balance column may not print. The amount column may also be missing.

CAUSE

The columns of the printed register are dynamic in width. Which means that if an entry in a column (usually the payee or category) is long, other columns may be forced to print on another page. If you print the entire account, then the missing column(s) will be on the final pages.

RESOLUTION

There are two possible resolutions to allow all columns to print on the same page:

Resolution 1

Change the print setup to print the pages in landscape orientation. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. When viewing the account you want to print in the Account Register, click Print on the File menu.
  2. Click Setup, and then click the Landscape button under Orientation.
  3. Click OK to print the register.

Resolution 2

To have more control over the look of the register printout, print the Account Transactions report from the Report and Chart Gallery. You can customize this report to use different fonts and column widths, include or exclude certain fields transactions, change the date range, and several other options. Use the appropriate method for your version of Money.

MORE INFORMATION

The only customization possible when printing directly from the Account Register is changes to the printer setup such as Orientation, Paper Size, and so on.

If classifications have been added to your file, the classification column(s) will also be printed when printing from the Account register. This could force more columns to other pages.

If the option to print pages # to # is chosen instead of printing the entire account from the Account Register, the pages with the extra columns may not print. This is because all the pages for the first few columns will print for all the transactions; then the remaining columns will print for those same transactions.
