It’s difficult for me to comprehend why that fancy template in that form should exist at all. I don’t think anyone could consider it sane. I reported it a bug https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798717 and see it has been closed with a note that it will be fixed in the next release. I thought that “Reset Defaults” in that part of the software would have reset the default invoice to be the default one. > > > You can change the 'default' Invoice template to Fancy (not that you'd > want to now) via Preferences > Business > Report for printing. Thank you. I had created an invoice with my company logo, which I would have liked to use as a default. I will recreate that now, tweak it a bit as I am not 100% satisfied, then save that as a default. (I was a bit surprised that setting the width of the banner to 1” was about optimal. The manual says one will have to experiment, but suggests 6” x 1” to be reasonable. Clearly 6” wide is very different to 1” wide) I'd bet > you had it set for the Fancy template before your re-install and regedit > attempt. I don’t know for certain, but I expect that you are right. The description of the layout clearly shows that the information is duplicated. Anyway, it will be fixed in the next release. ----- > As a side note here, maybe take from a clean install, a copy of the > settings location folders as a backup to do a quick restore.

I would much prefer to be using a Linux computer myself. Unfortunately the Linux computer is in my lab, which is detached from the house. In order to use that computer I would need to run the air conditioning to keep the room temperature comfortable, then use a power hungry computer to use some software that uses very little CPU power or memory. I think I should invest in a more general purpose computer. It is very rare for me to need several hundred of GB of RAM.
