Default Re: HELP! Why doesn't someone answer my question?

Thank you for the explanation! I did work around it by exporting to NotePad,
and printing it there. Like you said, it doesn't look like anything, but it
worked for this time. I guess I'll have to remember to do multiple shorter
invoices if I need to make a long one!

Hank:

Don't take it personally if people do not answer your post(s) in the
newsgroups. It is usually a sign that the regulars (or perhaps more
accurately the irregulars <g> ) simply don't have an answer to the question.
Many of the Business users have abandoned the idea of continuing with Money
due to M$'s lack of attention to that piece. (I am included in that bunch
but I occasionally lurk here to see if I'll be surprised by any new
developments. No surprises yet!).

With any luck you are comfortable working with HTML and know a few things
about testing the output for compliance against w3.org's validation tool.
The symptom you describe indicates some really bad HTML -- the IE browser
used to generate the output is having problems with the vertical size
attributes. (Go figure. M$'s IE having problems with bad M$-generated HTML.
Like THAT is something new to the industry.)

Personally, I have had nothing but problems using the Money generated report
output from the editor. When I took the time to actually craft some
excellent HTML in the report template, all the problems went away. M$ has
never really done any maintenance in the Business side of the package (with
the exception of removing some features) and never bothered to ensure the
HTML was W3-compliant. The output is really quite a mess. Cleaning up the
various size attributes, CSS, and other areas ensuring consistency
throughout the document (plus some restructuring) does wonders when used
with modern browsers.

The bottom line -- same advice given here over the years for the Business
users -- use the report editor to rough out a template and then do the
clean-up, tweaking, and compliance work by hand external to Money. You can
achieve far better results and have superior control over your design. (My
invoices don't look a bit like they were Money generated.) Just remember
that using the Money editor on your newly crafted HTML will undo all your
efforts.

FWIW. HTH.

This is a user-to-user support forum and (almost ?) nobody who sticks around
here to help uses the * Business * editions of Money.

You might consider opening a support case directly with Microsoft.

Default HELP! Why doesn't someone answer my question?

I have MS Money 2006 SB, and am trying to make a long invoice (19 pages).
Everything is fine until I go to print, then it only prints detail on the
last 4 or 5 pages; all the other pages print just the header information, but
no detail. Is there a limitation on invoice length to print, and if so, how
do I overcome the problem????
