Re: [GNC] Change column widths
Thanks to Vincent Dawans, David H, David T and David Carlson for the answer to my problem. I have now fixed it. I have to say I did a search in the gnucash-help.pdf file without finding anything other than changing column widths in invoices.

Re: [GNC] Change column widths
Of course, reading 2.9.2.3. Setting Column Widths in the Guide might also help you out. David T.

Re: [GNC] Change column widths
There is a description of how to do this in the help. Basically, grab the right edge of the account column header and move it either way to the desired width, then grab the right edge of the description column header and move it left far enough to eliminate the horizontal scroll bar. You can start by double clicking the category header, and if that makes the account column too wide, grab the right edge an move it left as desired. In the next software release there will be a fix so all the column widths will be remembered when the register is closed. Currently sometimes they are not.

Re: [GNC] Change column widths
Ops that should read... Personally I always start by double clicking the very rightwardcolumn and working towards the Description column leaving that until last. Cheers David H.

Re: [GNC] Change column widths
James/Bjorn ALWAYS adjust columns leaving the Description column to last as this particular column is a special case and expands to fill the remaining width. So adjust the Transfer column first - double click on its header or click on the right hand header delimiter and drag to the right. When it's where you want it to be then go back to the description column and either double click the Description header OR click the right hand column delimiter, drag it to the left and release. Personally I always start by double clicking the very leftward column and working towards the Description column leaving that until last. Cheers David H.

Re: [GNC] Change column widths
This question comes back from time to time. It's a bit counter intuitive. First you must resize the transfer column by pointing to the right edge of the heading, on the line, and click and drag to the right. Yes when you do that it will push the columns to the right out of the screen but that's Ok. Then you do the same with the description column except now you drag the right edge of the description heading to the left (or just double click on it) to reduce the size of that column and bring back the other columns into the screen.

[GNC] Change column widths
I would like to shorten the width of the Description column and increase the width of the Transfer column as some of the Transfer entries are very long. Is there some way to do this? Thanks in advance.
