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?
