It may seem like an issue that is of minimal importance, however when you have to go in EVERY time and change the columns it is a huge waste of time and money.  I have been a quickbooks user for over 30 years.  In the beginning years, when you changed the column widths they stayed the same.  I would guess about 12 years ago it all changed for the worse.  I constantly have to change the widths so that I can see all of my data on one screen. I also must say that the price of Quickbooks is so overpriced it is almost impossible to afford.  For the company to not make the fixes necessary to make everyone's lives easier is a slap in the face.  It would not be a hard fix I am told.  I hate to change software after 30 years, but between the price and the lack of quality upgrades I will sure be keeping my eyes open for a different software.  You should be ashamed.
