I really do understand, since I was required to do some filings "whole 
dollar".

BUT ....... are you sure any automatic "whole dollar" would work 
properly? The reality is that (rounded A) + (rounded B) does not 
necessarily = (rounded (A+B)). So whenever I need to report "whole 
dollar" I have found it necessary to "fudge" one or more entries to make 
everything that must be equal to be equal. In my case, not only did the 
report being submitted have to be in balance but had to start with the 
previous year end figures.

If you have to present the report "whole dollar" you might be better off 
doing that manually during editing of the report, so you don't have 
something looking like

Expenses A, B, and C

     Expense A       7

     Expense B       3

     Expense C       2

Total                  11   (not 12 as you might expect)
