Question

How do I control column width on invoices for non-printed custom fields?

Hi,


I'm really stumped on this one. I have quickbooks enterprise and there are a few custom item fields that I use when creating an invoice that I do not want the customers to see (I.E. I check screen but not print). I've designed my invoice template and everything appears but the column width for these custom fields is so small that I cannot see them. I can adjust the column width on the invoice I'm working on to see them but then I have repeat this process for every single invoice. It's very easy to control column width for the printed invoice but I'm clueless as how to control column width for the screen you see to create the invoice. Any ideas guys?

 

Thanks!

    Hey CuriousTom,
     

    Customizing your templates to include everything you want is definitely important to all businesses and a great way to save time. Kudos to you for having it set up the way you want on the customers end.
     

    While editing is important, there are still some limitations to it. Due to the amount of templates QuickBooks has, it does have a limit to how much of a change you can make to the screen.
    When you try and change one of the columns it will stay the same until you click save and close and revert back to the base template again.

    Hey Nick,

     

    Thanks a lot. The interesting thing is that I did that before and it didn't work but for some reason it's working right now. I'll update if it resets back again in a couple of days. Thanks again!
