In prior presentations, we talked about how to download the QuickBooks Desktop Software Installer resulting in this icon. We then ran the installation program, giving us the actual software. Now we're gonna open up the software and consider some display options within it. Now remember, when you open up the software, I keep on comparing it to say a Microsoft Word program. For Microsoft Word, for example, you usually don't double click the actual software icon to open it, but rather you double click on a Word document, which then opens up the software. When you're talking about the QuickBooks software, you can do that, but oftentimes you will just simply be double clicking on the software itself and then opening up the data file from the software. So for example, I'm gonna be opening up by just simply double clicking on the software itself. I might have multiple company data files or I might have only one data file if I just use the software for my company. For example, if I use the software just for my company, then it might open me directly to that company file because that's the one I always open, meaning it might just open it up to a company file. If that happens and you wanna exit the company file, you could go to the File tab up top and just close the company file. Don't exit the whole program, just close the company file. That will take you into the intro screen. We'll talk more about that in the future. This screen will get into it in more detail, but just a quick recap. It's got some of the recent files that you have had open, and then of course you can open any other company file and find that company file kind of like you would with multiple Word documents from the actual software here. What I wanna talk about now is to say, well, is there any way that I can possibly make this a little bit larger? Possibly this is too small for you and you wanna see it a little bit bigger, then that's the thing I wanna think about now. I'm gonna try to make the scale even bigger that I normally would use it so that it is as large as possible for the users for my presentations. And oftentimes people ask, well, how did you get it larger like that? There's a couple of ways to do it. One way is that once you get into the company file, you can go into the preferences, but really it's actually something that's gonna be on the Windows. It's part of your Windows program to increase the size. So I'm gonna just search for the settings. I'm gonna go into my Windows. I'm in Windows 11 here. I'm gonna look for settings, settings. And I'm just looking for the display settings. So I'm gonna open up the display settings and then I wanna look at the display settings up top. And so I'm on this screen. I've got two screens here and then I wanna consider the scale right here. So it's currently at the recommended 100%. So I might say, is there a way I can make it a little bit larger? Possibly 125 or 150 and that'll increase the scale. So if I go to 125, for example, I say, okay, okay. And then let's see what it looks like. So it's a little bit larger here. I might go as high as like 150 on the scale for presentations, just so it'll be easier for people to see on a presentation process. I'll have to do less zooming in in order to see the numbers that'll make the reports a little bit larger. Now that's a little bit inconvenient on one sense because you might say like a different scale on QuickBooks than you would like when you're not using QuickBooks. So you might, if that's the case, you might want to memorize where to go to make that change so that you can change it for QuickBooks. And when you're not using QuickBooks, maybe you want a different scale preference. And there's also a way that you can get in there from the preferences once we open a company file, but just note that it's not really a feature within QuickBooks. You're just going to the settings within your Windows settings. So I just want to note that first before we jump into anything so that, so if you're looking at your screen, you're saying, Hey, my stuff is way too small. I want it larger. That's what I'm doing. I'm just increasing the scale.
