Selecting a font

You can adjust these items:

• Font

  Fonts with the double T icon are TrueType fonts. TrueType fonts appear in the Sample box and in print preview just as they do on the page.

  Fonts with the printer icon are approximated in the Sample box and in print preview, but they may print faster than TrueType fonts print.

  Fonts without an icon are screen fonts. These fonts probably won't look as attractive printed as they do on-screen.

  Some printer and screen fonts don't resize properly (they aren't "scalable"). If you experience problems with a font, try a TrueType font.

• Font Style
  Shows the styles available for the font you selected. For best results with reports and invoices, use Regular.
• Size
  Shows the character sizes available for the font you selected. For best results, use a size between 9 and 12.
• Sample

  As you make selections, check in the Sample box to see what the font will look like. For some fonts, this is only an approximation.

  If you don't select a font, Quicken chooses a font for you, usually Arial.

1. After you've modified the settings you want to change, open an existing form layout, or create a new one,
2. Right-click in the form and choose Print from the menu.
3. In the Print Invoice dialog, click OK to print immediately, or click Preview to check the formatting on-screen.
   • What can I do in the Preview window?
     From the Preview window, you can page through your sample (if it has multiple pages). Close the Preview window if you want to make changes.
   • How do I change the fonts in the form?
     Use the Forms Designer tools to change the print options and fonts.
   • How do I change the page orientation?
     You must create a new form.

Not all printers will print your business forms exactly as they are displayed on the page. When you print a form in landscape mode, your printer may cut off any layout items that are right-aligned (that is, aligned with the right margin of the form).

Be sure to print a sample layout to test your spacing. If the invoice appears to go over the right margin of the page when it's printed, edit the layout in the Forms Designer and adjust the layout items on the right side. Then try printing again.
