is there a way to print a check register book?

I write maybe half of what you do, if that. I do everything online except
for depositing the occasional check I receive.

It's really hard to get a checking account now. Because of Homeland
Security (for one thing) or maybe it's the Patriot Act. You have to be there
in person to get an account (you know, terrorists might open a bank
account ) and then you need some high credit score. When we moved back to VT
in 1997 I called a bank, they sent me forms I sent them back with a deposit
and it was waiting when we got here. Three years ago, my daughter moved here
from FL (she had a Bank of America account there but they don't have them in
VT, nearest one is 80 miles away) she couldn't get a checking account. She
was buying money orders to send to her BOA online account, or putting money
in my acct and I'd give her checks. They kept putting her off. Said if she
openned a savings account and used it for a few months. She did. They kept
putting her off... About a year later she went to a credit union and they
gave her one, no problem. She has checks, debit card, etc. She closed her
savings account at the bank and put it in the credit union. Wasn't just one
bank but all she tried here. Banks are under different guidelines
(goverenment) or something.

I wonder if the REAL terrorists are laughing at us? (I was reading on
another group that proms in some places are using metal detectors and
breathilizers now).

absolutely. i think we only physically write out 10 checks a year now!
it's great at tax time too. however, my bank only makes available the
last
90 days of history, so i have to remember to download my register
quarterly.

not t mention the money saved on stamps.

| | 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.
| |
