Q. Quicken register two lines [HOWTO] [SOLVED]
Q. I know you use Quicken from some of your other “tip” posts, can you help me with something? Specifically, I added a new checking account to Quicken Deluxe 2015 and the register seems to be stuck at one line-height for the new account 🙁 How do I get it back to the old two lines?! Thx! -Tony M.
A. Hi Tony, I think I can help! There are a couple of ways to do it:
- Click the “gear” icon in the upper right of the register, then choose “Two-line Display” from the drop-down
-or- - Press “Ctrl+2” (Ctrl and 2 at the same time) while in the account you want to change
Hopefully, either method will do the trick for you!
PS here is a screenshot showing where you check the box:
The upper right-hand corner has the Gear icon that you need
Check the Two-line display box! 🙂
NOTE: according to readers, these instructions also work for Quicken 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. Whew, that is a LOT of years! 🙂
Thank you!!!!
No problem! Thanks for taking the time to comment and have a great day!!

That drop-down menu is gone in Quicken 2017. You get submenu that says “Show all 1-line registers like this.” when you’re in the new account, but there’s nowhere to change to 2 line. However Ctrl 2 works. Thanks!
No problem! Have a great day!! 👍

Thanks much, they removed the check box, but, the “ctrl 2” still works!

Thank you SO much for this tip. It took me right to where I needed to be. I am not sure why I can’t seem to remember my way through changing from 1 line to 2 lines in the register, bit I don’t add accounts often and always have to seek help when I do. YOUR guidance made it a fast and easy project for me. I appreciate your help.
Dear JJH,

Have a wonderful week and thank you again for taking the time to comment!
