Since the best solution Intuit has had for the last 3 years is "dunno, reinstall it?", I thought I'd share some my insights on this issue.

Reinstalling is not a solution, changing graphic settings are not a solution, changing the weak Quickbook settings are not a solution.

I believe it's an issue with the template getting corrupted, seemingly from being edited, modified, converted, looked at, thought about, etc. Once the issue appears, it impacts everyone that uses it regardless of the Quickbooks version.

The way I've fixed it is to:

1. Remake the template from scratch

2. Painstakingly change all the old PO's to the new template...manually, because Intuit doesn't believe in batch actions for PO's.

3. Grab the old pillow to scream into.

4. Close and reopen Quickbooks to see results.

5. Hope you don't have to ever edit a PO template ever again.

I would recommend creating a dummy template as a test, then trying it out on a dummy PO before wasting your life.
