is there a way to print a check register book?
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 |

Carrie, I have a check template on my web site in a .wmf format. It is something
you could build upon.

Right-click, save as... http://msauer.mvps.org/graphics.htm Thanks! Sometimes I think I have the more "different" problem and questions of anyone here (LOL) But, the more I can do on my own (without needing a car, or someone to go and do things for me) the better. Actually, with the cost of gas and time for running around, whatever any of us can do at home with our own computer and printer, maybe the better. Off topic a bit, but on this same idea, I use Staples (from online) quite a bit, if you buy over $50 you get free shipping (I get blank dvds, cds and printer paper, cardstock, etc) and I order it before noon one day and it's at my house (via UPS) before noon the next. This always amazes me. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Carrie" wrote in message ... A template or something?

Overnight is fine but I'd rather wait a few days (generally a week) and save
$21 by buying it from Amazon.com. If I needed it ASAP, then (1) I'm a fool for waiting until the last minute and (2) I live within 5 miles of Circuit City, Office Max, Target, and Wal-Mart, and Staples is only about 6 miles from here. Now please bear in mind that my first point applies to myself - not someone else, okay? -- JoAnn Paules Microsoft MVP - Publisher How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 "Uncle Grumpy" wrote in message ...

Now please bear in mind that my first point applies to myself - not someone else, okay? This isn't overnight delivery. It's regular UPS. And Staples gives free shipping (as in NO COST) if the order is over $50. If I was paying $20-30 or so for overnight I'd find someone to go there (about 20 miles away) and get it for me. But, their store is so huge, even with a list, it's easier to look online, and decide and order it that way. I live 20 miles from Staples (and Walmart but ours is closing and changing to a Sam's Club, so they don't seem to have as much now. I bought a new dvd burner from them a few months ago and they only had ONE (not just one brand, one in a box) in the whole store) and I don't have a car. So, for me to get a ride there or ask someone if they're going there anyway, or will go for me (and offer them money for gas) isn't the easy solution. I just try and plan it so I get what I want/need or will during the month all at once and get the free shipping. I do have to pay 6% VT sales tax, even though it comes from NH (which has no sales tax) because it's being delivered in VT. But, it would probably cost more than that for gas. -- JoAnn Paules Microsoft MVP - Publisher How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 "Uncle Grumpy" wrote in message ...

Got it the next day, I think it's good to appreciate a company that gives good service and seems to appreciate us (customers) But, your buying and receiving story beats mine (LOL) I thought 24 hours was good. |

Mary do you print your own checks or know people who do?
I asked about this once (somewhere) and there's software one can get to set it up (or use your template) What I found out: At one time banks required special magnetic ink for the coding on the checks, but now have optical readers I liked the idea of printing my own checks, even though they are pretty inexpensive and easy to get from online. But- someone said the ink most home injet printers use isn't too good, and if drops of water hit it (the check) the ink would run. I never tried this to test it. As I just said I like doing as much as I can myself. Not just to save money, or because it's easier (I live in a rural area and don't have a car) but I just would rather do it. Probably there are lots of things I could do myself, if I thought about it more. I make my own address labels now (and for family and friends) but that's simple with Publisher. ~ Carrie "Mary Sauer" wrote in message ...

I use to print my checks, but I used the checks supplied by the bank. I don't
know about your bank, but if you have other accounts with the bank, checking is free. Call your bank and ask them if they need the magnetic numbers. I believe it has to do with the routing. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Carrie" wrote in message ...
