I think you have put the "chair" on the notes for the payment to the
credit card company, rather than on the note in the split for the
furniture.

The long answer is to make the credit card account another account in
Gnucash and enter the two transactions separately into the credit card
account, then pay the credit card from the cheque account.

Will,

Thank you very much for your detail instruction. I will update my Gnucash to 3, 
and then to 4, and then to 4.9 as you instructed before I replace my computer.
The printing of certain account ledge page works fine while follow your 
instruction. Thanks again.
Now I have another problem. when I use split transaction, for example, I paid 
from my checking account of $300.00 to a credit card company for two 
transaction charged in the credit card. one is grocery of $50.00 another one is 
a chair for $250.00, so I did the split transaction of grocery and furniture 
account. after I recorded the split transaction, the furniture account shows 
250.00 but did not show it is for a chair. Did I do something wrong? why on the 
split transaction it shows a chair but not on the furniture account ledge?
