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

You shoulda just made a fillable form with the pdf...that'd work really
snappy and neat :-)



I don't know what you mean?

I don't know anything about setting up pdf, I try changing it, I tried
print multiple images and it only printed a small one (one) on the paper.

I tried so many ways I ended up with a pile of scrap paper (LOL)

| I can tell you that I didn't have to jump thru hoops last year when I
| opened new new checking accounts. I really just wanted two small
savings
| accounts but the bank rep said that I'd be better off with checking
| accounts. Both are tied to our names so I can go online and access all
of
| my data with one log-in. My husband was not with me when I started them
so
| I couldn't add his name to the account. It's been like that for years -
| many years prior to 9/11. We recently added him just in case something
| should happen to me.
|
| To tie this all back to your original post, Publisher is *not* the
right
| program. Money, Accounting Express, Quicken - yes. Use your copy of
| Publisher to make cards, newsletters, posters, etc and you'll be a
much
| happier person.
|
| I think the point about my daughter and checking accounts was she had
| moved there from FL and the bank she had in FL doesn't have any branches
in
| VT. So they didn't seem to want that as "credit". They told her (and me,
I
| called once and asked if she could open a checking account if I put my
name
| on it, too, but they said they still had to go by her) it was because of
| homeland security. She would have to open a savings account and "use it"
| (like put in money, buy money orders from the bank to pay bills,
deposit,
| etc to show it was active). The woman I talked to said it didn't apply
to
| small town banks like in VT, but the rules were still there, and they
had
to
| follow them. She said they were afraid terrorists in foreign countries
would
| use fake names to set up accounts and deposit large amounts of money and
| keep it there until it was needed for something. She seemed to think it
was
| odd herself, and said "maybe it's a big city thing" My daughter had
moved
| from FL, and the bank she had there wasn't in VT (where she had bought a
| house and moved to) she was divorced and banks before FL had been in her
| husband's name, too. It was just a hassle, she found the credit union
much
| different. Now she is established (at the credit union) she probably
could
| easily open a checking account at the bank, but now she doesn't want one
| there.
|
| Anyway, I have decided making a check register doesn't work in
Publisher,
I
| thought I could use one of the booklet (pages and folds, etc) templates,
| etc.
|
| I ended up printing out the pdf of the register page. scanning it to my
| computer, saving it as a jpg, then after finding out it didn't work good
in
| Publisher I just printed out pages of it (on both sides) cut them to
size,
| stapled them together with a piece of cardstock on the back.
|
| It worked BUT, I think I will aim at getting a bunch of them from
the
| bank to have on hand from now on.

| 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.

| | My banking is online, I sort of keep track with Money 97. The
bank
| printouts are
| | great, the cancelled checks are always there, ready to print. I'd
| recommend
| | online banking to anyone.

| | | 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,
