After recently discontinuing Quicken I needed a simple form to record my
checking account activity. I spent endless hours on line checking as many as I
could find before choosing OpenOffice. I liked the simplicity and flexibility
of your offering, and downloaded it on Monday, Apr. 13. I then commenced
trying to fine tune the format and entering my account activity from the
beginning of the year. Getting the format as I wanted it was challenging, but
I got it pretty much as I wanted it. When I finished as much as I could on
Monday just prior to shutting down my computer I thought I somehow lost
everything that had so far been accomplished. No way could I get my check
register back up! But, happily, on Tuesday when I started up my computer I got
my check register back up with all that I had entered. I then spent several
more hours on entries, sometimes losing everything, but then getting it back.
However, just prior to quitting for the day I’ve no idea what I was doing, but
again I lost “checkbook.” Tried several times to find it, but no luck. I
figured perhaps I’d be lucky again on the next start-up (today), but not so. I
worked on it for a couple hours, but finally gave up in exasperation. I had
hoped to be abel to call for some assistance, but apparently phone service is
not available.
At this point I’m extremely unhappy. How I could create so many problems with
something so seemingly simple is extremely frustrating. I will now start over
from scratch for one last try.
Here are a few questions that occurred while I was working on “checkbook”:
Is it normal that the “balance” figure should show in every balance
cell below it?
How can I change the document title?
Between the doc title and column titles what is the purpose of the 3
column bold rectangle?
When I make a column to be all one color (by scrolling down the column)
why do all the dividing lines disappear?
Is there any reason why the format (i.e. left, center, right etc.)of
entries in any column cannot be changed?
My computer is Mac OS X 10.10.2.
Oh, by the way, for some unknown reason I had to pay $4.99 for the download
which I keep seeing on your website is free - receipt #2765-1435-5460-2762 from
Sourceline Media.com. If I can get it to work it will be well worth it.
