@JasroV: Thanks for your suggestions, but updates did nothing for me.
The solution I found showed me that the problem is a glitch in the default settings. I hope intuit sees this post and makes easier solutions for others with the same problem.

To restate my problem, I couldn’t delete or resize columns on my report. And when I tried to customize my report, I couldn’t find tools related to sizing, resizing or deleting columns. Finding a solution was an accident from messing with the program features, and I’m still not sure what I did. But here’s an idea…
Step 1: Open quick report.
Step 2: Click on the “Customize Report” button in the upper left of the report.
Step 3: In the section labeled “Columns”, check the boxes of what you want to see (or uncheck what you don’t want).
Step 4: Click OK and see if it broke the hold.

Before I did this, I couldn’t delete or resize anything. Now I can. I’m not sure exactly what the block was, or what changed, but it worked. I will throw in that the program had recently been installed on my computer, and all default settings were running. For some reason, unchecking one box to get rid of the “(left margin)”, turned off the default settings and allowed me to easily adjust the report without having to open the customizing settings.
I’m curious to see if anyone else tries this and has their problem fixed like I did.
Hope this helps.
