Preferences: General Tab

The General Tab in the Preferences Sheet gives you control over the following:

• Deposits Color: sets the color for Deposit and Scheduled Deposit Entries

• Debits Color: sets the color for Debit and Scheduled Debit Entries

• Transfers Color: sets the color for Transfer and Scheduled Transfer Entries

• Entry Font: sets the font used to display and print all Entries

• Entry Font Size: sets the font size used to display all Entries

• Use Ellipses (...): controls whether CheckBook truncates text that is too long to fit inside a table field with a '...'

• Italicize Future Entries: tells CheckBook to display Entries that occur after the current Date in italics

• Save Filter Settings: controls whether your current Filter for each Account is saved when you quit CheckBook and restored when you next launch CheckBook

• Cancel Filter When Adding Or Changing Entries: tells CheckBook to cancel the current Filter when you add or change an Entry. The default behavior is to leave the current Filter in place and re-Filter your Entries, which could exclude the added or changed Entry from view

• Check For Software Update: tells CheckBook whether you would like to check for a newer version of CheckBook each time you launch CheckBook



To Change Your General Preferences:


1. Select the Preferences... menu item from the CheckBook Menu.

2. The Preferences Sheet will slide in from the top of the CheckBook Window. The General Tab will be selected by default.

3. Change the General Preferences to suit.

4. Press the OK Button when you are ready to confirm your changes, or press the Cancel Button to leave the Preferences unchanged.
