Thank you David, It is a simple split for interest I receive once a month and is credited to my bank account - nothing complex. As I mentioned earlier, *Duplicate* works perfectly well, which I hadn't used before, has less clicks and appears more efficient, so no drama. However it intrigues me why

No John, v 3.7 has been going fine ever since I installed it a few days after it was released as an update from 3.6. I suspect it may have something to do with the slew of Windows updates lately but I cannot specifically put my finger on anything as Cut and Copy works OK on all other apps. Maybe a

I’m not versed on settings.ini syntax, but you might need to quote the font name so it doesn’t see it as 2 fonts. ("Calibre 14" instead of “Calibre" and “14") Also, check your currency list in GnuCash and the assigned symbol for Rupee there. It is possible to customize the unicode glyph. The

Welcome to GnuCash! While you are reading the Tutorial, keep in mind that ‘account’ is not something limited or special like a bank account. (which is just one type of account) Your bank has a liability account in their books ‘with your name on it’. (I put that in quotes because they likely

Hi All, A problem that's just occurred in the last couple of days is that I can no longer *Copy* or *Cut* a full line account item as both the *Cut* and *Paste* in the *Edit* tab are greyed out and therefore unusable, however *Duplicate* works OK. I am using Windows 10 and GNUcash V 3.7. I can

Axel, When you double clicked the date column header, did you follow that with a double click of the description column header? If the date column is fully in view, but too narrow to display all of the characters in the fields, double clicking its column header might have widened the column, and

I tried the same. First I ran a query in Google "fonts that support Rupee symbol". Got confirmation that now windows came with support for Rupee symbol and we could directly type rupee in applications like say Word - by typing 20b9 followed by Alt+x. So, by this logic, I thought if I change in

I agree - ideally we could control which columns are used in invoices. I never use most of them - they are just a waste of space. As an alternative being able to set initial column width (in pixels, or percent, etc.) would be a workaround as we could set columns to 0 or 1 if they are not
