Open Windows Vertically and Horizontally or Cascade in QuickBooks

In QuickBooks, users have the ability to open windows vertically, horizontally or cascade. These multiple types of views provide different benefits. For instance, if you want to reconcile an account and are dealing with a long list of transactions, then you may want to view the window vertically. Many monitors can now be tilted and hence the vertical view will provide more space for single documents.

Changing Window Setting for QuickBooks

For changing the view and layout of the window when working with QuickBooks, follow the steps provided below:

1. Log into Windows.
2. Click on Start Menu.
3. Open Control Panel.
4. Click on Display Settings.
5. Select Orientation.
6. Click on Landscape or Portrait and Select Apply.
7. If you are happy with the settings, click on OK.

Note: Simply applying the setting will not change it. You need to click on OK for permanently setting the orientation or else the changes will be reverted.

For setting the monitor vertically, you can either use a monitor arm or wall mount it. For monitor stands, contact the manufacturer of the monitor for further information.

Also, you will have to note the resolution of your monitor. If the resolution does not support more space, then all you will get is a zoomed view. This will not be helpful. Thus, if you are working with a Full HD monitor, then we will not advise you to change the orientation of the screen.

QuickBooks Accounting Software

1. Log into QuickBooks.
2. Click on Window from the top menu bar.
3. Select the window you want to use.

FAQ

Q I have a 4K monitor. Would changing the orientation work?

Yes, changing the orientation will provide more space either vertically or horizontally. Horizontal space is useful for working with multiple windows. It enables you to place those windows side by side. The vertical view will be useful when working with a single window.
