SUMMARY

When you create a new account, payee, or category, you can type up to 32 characters. However, the full name may not be displayed completely in the corresponding list box. This is dependent upon the font width of the characters, the size of the window, and the resolution of the video driver.

WORKAROUND

To see as many of the characters as possible, use any of the following methods.

Method 1

Maximize the Microsoft Money window.

Method 2

Shorten the description.

Method 3

Increase the resolution of your video display driver.

Method 4

If you are using Large Fonts, change to Small Fonts.

Notes

Because there are several versions of Microsoft Windows, the following steps may be different on your computer. If they are, see your product documentation to complete these steps. Be aware that these steps will affect the display for all of your Windows programs and not just Money.
  1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
