Open Quicken then select the Price Icon. Then select the custom Icon at
the bottom.  When this area opens up select the securities icon at the

HK>    Well it maybe time for a call, but try changing the default

Write your reply.

assistant: Thanks Harold.  I called Intuit after returning the printer and the guy
said he did not know of any problems like I had.  He thought that I had
a bad spot on my disk where the printer file was located and suggesed
that I rename the file to move its location.  Well that's possible but
I no longer had the printer to check it out.
I just received Intuit's anouncement for Quicken 96 Deluxe 5.  Among
the improvements is the ability to adjust column widths and automatic
fit-to-page report writing.  I wonder if this is response to our
problem.  I also posed my problem at my local user group.  Several
had no problems and others said Intiut was aware of it and was going
to provide a fix.  Naturally I wasn't able to get specifics.
At least you were able to get a little better correction with the
margin adjustments than I.  Perhaps the video card makes the
difference.  I'll see how people fare with the new version before
trying another printer.  Ron

just go ahead and switch to Windows Quicken.
Anyone tried version 5 who has been a DOS Quicken lover?

I had a stock merge and as a result, the symbol on the NYSE changed.  I have
been unable to import stock quotes since then cause the symbols dont match
anymore.  I cant find anywhere in quicken to change the symbol.  I tried
exporting the trans and cost data, deleting the account, recreating it with
right symbol, and importing the data and price info again but it put the old
symbol back on it.  I checked the import files and they Symbol isnt in them.
Is there any way to get the symbol changed and keep my old trans/price info?
Im using Quicken 3.0.  Ive also noticed with a few of the boxes that you can
enable when you create an account, if you clear the check box, it disappears
and you cant re-check it later. Is there a way to re-check the box after it
has disappeared without re-creating the account?

like PO Num or Comments, to the Transaction line of the
Statement.  There seems to be a relatively large area next
to the invoice # on the Statement form which could be used
for this.
Also is there a way to add a "comment" at the bottom of the
Statement form, like you can on the Invoice ?
If either or both of these things can be done in Qbooks Win
but not in DOS I would like to know.
Thanks in advance.

accomadate the Canadian method of tracking the cost of your investments;
that is "AVERAGE COST" as opposed to "FIRST IN,FIRST OUT" or "LOT SALES"
I realize you can accomplish this by selling a certain amount of each
lot, but that is slow and time consuming when you have accumulated the
shares over a long period of time with a monthly investment plan.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated!

I'm using Quicken 8 and love it.  It is a DOS program, and after 4 or 5
years of upgrading, I have received no notices about the new quicken. I
guess they dropped the DOS Version altogether.  I think my version 8
will be fine to use for many years to come.
