Thanks a lot for spending so much of your time. Really I appreciate.
Problem is, my ignorance. Ignorance with ...
1. English: is my second language, so sometimes I may inadvertently use a
wrong word.
2. Netiquette: Now a days I am trying to learn it.
In my previous posts, I simply copied all the words from the " GnuCash Tutorial
and Concepts Guide" and pasted it in those posts (this time also doing the
same but now a bit more careful) and those contained the capital letters and
boldface which I overlooked before.
3. Accounting and Gnucash: Yes you are correct, still learning.

But !  something I have noticed now which I didn't before, that is,
unusually large fonts applied to the sentence     ' "GnuCash Tutorial and
Concepts Guide" so I asked here.'   Truly, I don't know how it went out that
way. Apology for that.

Thanks again and regards
