Default I found this

http://www.cyberlepsy.com/Downloads/...20register.pdf

I've been trying various ways of printing it, different settings with the
printer.

Maybe it could be imported or copy/pasted from the pdf either directly to
Publisher or via jpg or something?

If I could get it in Publisher, on the correct size page (landscape setup)
maybe 2 to a page, and reversed on the other side (duplex printing) I might
end up with something that would print out a lot of pages, I could cut in
half, fold and staple together?

Setting things up so they come out the way I'd like, with the printer,
Publisher, sizes, orientation on the paper, etc is something mind boggling
for me (in any situation)

Reminds me of trying to solve Rubek's Cube, like all the different ways and
maybe hitting on it by accident.

I'll update if I figure it out, or maybe someone here will consider it a
challenge. it's beyond getting a check register now, and gone into
CHALLENGE.

A template or something?

I have Publisher 2000 (also Word 2000)

I found in a search (online) a page with tutorials about money management
that offered a printable check register but it turned out to be a
full-size page (also a pdf version). I've tried to set the pages smaller,
thinking if I printed 4-6 smaller versions of it one page I could cut them
apart and put them together, but they only print one (small) to a page.

This might not seem like a big deal, but I don't have a car and getting
something like this from my bank is a major project (I ask people and they
forget. I could probably call the bank and ask them to mail me one) One
comes with a box of checks when I order them but at some point is filled
up. I got the idea of printing it myself. Like several pages, with
checkbook size "pages" printed several times on it- that could be cut
apart and folder (maybe with a staple) to form a check register book.

If I had a blank page from one, I could scan it, and possibly figure out
how to set it up on a page (my printer has two sided duplex printing) so
each page could be cut and folded to make several pages of the register
book.

I know, I can cut plain paper to size and fold it to make one, but I
enjoy a challenge- learning experience, and thought if I could find a set
up for this (with the lines, squares, spaces for check number, amounts,
etc) I'd like to know.

Thanks,
Carrie
