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

You need Acrobat (the real thing, not the reader), or any pdf creator
cabable of turning the pdf into a fillable form.
Create your form in Pub, Word, or from a scan (or whatever), pass it to your
PDF creator then you create data fields where you want to on the page/form.

| 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,
| | | | Carrie
