QuickBooks for Mac 2014 User’s Guide 209
Specifying a header or footer
At the top of the report, click Header/Footer and make your changes on the Header/Footer window.
• Change the header information. QuickBooks automatically includes your company name, title, subtitle, and
today's date in the header. You can also specify whether you want the header to print on all pages of the
report, or only on the first page.
• Change the footer information. QuickBooks automatically includes the current page number, and lets you add
an extra line of text. You can also specify whether you want the footer to print on all pages of the report, or only
on the first page.
• If you want to change the alignment, select an option from the alignment menu.
• If you want to apply the header/footer settings to all your reports, click Apply to All. QuickBooks uses the title
and subtitle of each report, but all other header/footer settings you set here will apply to all reports.
Formatting fonts and numbers
At the top of the report, click Format and make your changes on the Format window.
• To change fonts, select the text area from the pop-up menu and then the font and color.
• Specify if you want to see simplified numbers by dividing them by 1,000. You can also choose to display cents in
your amounts, or zero amounts.
• Select the format for negative numbers on your report. For example, -300.00 or (300.00) or 300.00-.
• If you want to apply the format settings to all your reports, click Apply to All.
Reports: FAQs
Try these tips and tricks to make using reports even easier.
• How do I create reports and graphs based on your fiscal year?
Just tell QuickBooks which month your fiscal year starts in. Choose QuickBooks > Preferences, and then choose
My Company. Select a month from the “First Month in Your Fiscal Year” list. If you choose July, for example, a
“year-to-date” report would report on transactions between July 1 and today.
• How do I see the exact dollar amount in graphs?
Whenever the arrow cursor turns into a magnifying glass ( ) in a graph window, you can see the exact value
of the item below the magnifying glass by holding down the mouse button.
• How do I fit a report on one page when I print it?
When you are ready to print a report you've created, click Print at the top of the form. If your report is too wide
to print on one page, choose Options on the Print window and select “Shrink report to fit page width.”
• How do I see the detail behind items in a graph?
