 Posted: Fri Jul 04, 2008 12:11 am Post subject: Thick lines on invoices |
 |
|
Guys I'm now using QB Regular 2006 and find that the lines that denote
the various area of the invoices are very much thicker than was the case
with a very much older version of QB. I have to say that they are now
rather crude rather than fine delicate lines I have become used to.
The computer and the printer are exactly the same and I cannot find an
option in QB to reduce the line thickness. Has anyone any idea how I
can make the change to thinner lines please?
Many thanks for any assistance

I wish I had your problems.
Why would anyone upgrade to a version of QB 2 years old?
Customize the form. You can modify the thickness of the lines using the
layout designer.

Unless there's an option in the border option to set the line type as
well as the position, afraid Intuit has decided what you need for you.
(This isn't available in any version of QB I'm aware of, btw...  )

You misunderstood me. I did not say that I had just upgraded, actually
I upgraded a couple of years ago but only recently have needed to print
out invoices rather than e-mail them so it has now become an issue for
me. The old version of QB rendered the lines as far less intrusive, and
IMO it resulted in a more "professional" looking invoice

I would like to think you are correct but I cannot see how to do this so
perhaps you could explain how.
Many thanks

Good thing you are not the center of the universe. I have it in mine, QB
2008 Premium.

To customize your invoice, go to Lists>>template list and find your invoice.
Double click on the invoice name to initate the edit mode. Click on the
Layout Designer. For each piece of the invoice, click on an area and then
click on Properties. (or right click and select Properties) Go to the Border
tab and change the Thickness of the lines drawn to "Thin". Repeat for all
remaining boxes drawn on the invoice. Save the invoice. Hopefully, this will
change the thickness of the lines to your satisfaction. |

Many thanks Laura for your help. Unfortunately QB 2006 Regular only
offer these options under properties/border Left, right, top, bottom.
Very frustrating<G>
I wonder if anyone else can confirm my findings for this version of the
software. Perhaps the UK supplied version is a cut down one.
Cheers

You will need to highlight EACH box drawn on the invoice to accomplish this. |

Which version are you using, Laura?
As I noted earlier, earlier versions don't offer line width as an option
on borders, only allows setting which sides of the boxen have
them...don't know where it started, but none that I have are new enough
(of course, I'm farther behind than Richard, even).
Think he's stuck w/ what Intuit used for his version... :(

Thanks Laura, but unfortunately on my version this does not offer any
more than offering a border option and no mention of line thickness.

I have never found the lines on invoices to be thick...whatever you mean by that.
You can change the font sizes, types and lines if you wish in Lists/Templates. You
can arrange things how you like. |

I am using Premier but I "toggled" to the Pro version. Open up a new invoice
and select the Layout designer. Highlight a box and select Properties in the
upper left hand corner. You should have 3 tabs: Text-Border-Background. On
the Border tab you will have options for border-pattern-rounded
corners-thickness. Do you see the same options that I have?
Oh, no. I just noticed your UK e-mail address. Are you using a UK version of
QB? Most of us in this group are using the US version. If you don't see
these options then this is another difference between the country versions. |

I think I also mentioned that I'm using what they call here in the UK QB
2006 Regular whatever that means! Twice the price you guys pay too I
expect!

There is no option I can find for changing line thickness..fonts and
font colour yes.

Not so on my version.
