My biggest knock currently against the T2 package is how we look up the GIFI numbers and description.

The lookup window is too small, and the scrolling is at it's own speed, and often the scrolling goes past your "stopping point" and disappears out of the window....well it happens if you keep your mouse at the bottom of the window....


So give us a huge window and let us see ALL the codes in one window. We can then quickly find and highlight the one we need and bring it in

Hey JohnV,

Is this when you put your cursor in the code field and hit F6?

Just making sure you were aware of that. If you are, cool, maybe Intuit will find a better way.

Cheers.

Dear Intuit:

Please remember some of us are over 40 that are using your software.


We Need Larger Fonts To read the Screen.

The normal fonts are just a little to small to read in some cases.

and for those over 50

I don't think you could make the fonts large enough.

800X600 resolution + extra large fonts (display properties, appearance tab) + adjusting dpi settings (display properties, settings, advanced, general tab, choose large size) might help. :)

Then again, there is always the screen magnifier which is cool, but clumsy.

WOW- Me too!! Thanks DJ. All these years of using the program and not knowing that. I wonder how many other neat shortcuts I'm missing!

Thanks again,

I'd need to make the office bigger to get two 22" screens on my desk :lol:

Something to look forward to next year, I can see the advantages. Bert can you have the same program on both screens? IE so you can look at one and have the other turned around towards the client?
