Windows 10, GnuCash 3.10 I've been using GnuCash for several years now for my personal use. I am now a treasurer of a members association at a golf club, which has used other software to do their accounting. I would like to transition to using GnuCash.
My questions are around report generation. For my personal use, it hasn't been that important. However with the club, balance sheets, income statements, budget reports, etc will now become important, getting the report into the format I like on the screen, and then to print. I've been reading through the GC documentation and experimenting. Between using the options available within individual reports, along with trying different Style Sheets, I am encouraged that there is potential to tweak the report formats to my liking. When I look at the drop down list of Style Sheets, I see the following: CSS (experimental), Default, Easy, Footer, Head orTail, Technicolor. After trying them out, I've made the following conclusions (I'm leaving out the experimental one for now): *Default Style Sheet *- The entire report is left justified on the screen and page, Quite basic, limited color, no images. However this is the ONLY place that the "Table border width" setting actually does something - border around the entire report along with grid lines around every cell. This setting does nothing in any of the other Style Sheets that I can see. *Easy, Footer, and Technicolor Style Sheets* - Report is centered on the screen and page, more options than Default. Unless I'm missing something, they are identical. *Head or Tail Style Sheet* - Similar to the above three sheets, with more data displayed in either the header or footer area of the report. Now some questions..... 1. Why are the Easy, Footer and Technicolor style sheets all the same? 2. Why does the "Table border width" setting only work with the Default Style Sheet? I can see instances where that grid effect would be good with the other Style Sheets. 3. Why aren't printed multi-page reports formatted for each page? Page breaks just fall wherever they fall, headings aren't repeated at the top of each page, no options for displaying page numbers, etc. I think GnuCash is a great piece of software. I'm just trying to understand how to get output from it the way I want. Thanks very much for all replies.
