I'm a QB Desktop Pro newbie. I'm in the process of converting my existing accounting records to QB and have discovered that the Customer fields in QB are way, way too small for the names of about 75% of my customers eg: co-ownerships of 3 or more companies. Is there anyway to make the field boxes bigger? In my case, they would need to hold 4x or 5x as many characters as they do now. BTW: Ive addes the extra field boxes on the Additional Information tab and even those are way too small for the names of any one of the 75% of customers I'm talking about.
Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear in my original post. The field boxes I need to make bigger are the boxes on the New Customer & Job creation page. It seems to me that if the information in the "Company Name" field or box is too small then, no amount of fiddling with an invoice with the Layout Designer is going to make information appear that isn't in the "Company Name" field in the New Customer creation page for the customer. So if on the Company Name field on the New Customer page is only 30 characters, those are the only characters you can play with via the Layout Designer even though the actual name of the Customer is 45 characters long.
Unfortunately that is one of the limitation of Desktop version. Some fields only allow up to 31 characters. You don't have any choice but shorten it and put the the complete information in description field.
I noticed you mentioned regarding converting from other system. You may consider a 3rd party data importing tools (like TPI) to speed up the work as well.
