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).

Our local water utility company will not accept electronic payments, but
our bank spends their own $.39 to mail a check to them. Wal-Mart has quit
accepting checks, they only use a check for the account and routing
numbers. I still have to write checks for all the children's various
gifts.


The grocery store I go to does that too, with the check. I date and sign
it and they run it through and hand it back.

I'm just getting so I can remember how to use the debit card though. I
never can figure out first try which way it goes. I can use it online pretty
good, though (LOL)

I remember long ago, there were rumors that "in the future money will be
obsolete and people will use plastic cards". The first time I saw a grocery
store scanner (on a segment on the news)I was amazed. But, we had heard for
years that was the point of the upc product code being put on everything.

So far, we don't have to have it tattooed on us (at birth) but it's
possible. Maybe there's coding in the "shots" that babies supposedly have to
get at birth (if they are born in a hospital anyway)

I sometimes have thought, what happens if something comes along that
replaces computers? I don't know what (if I did, I'd be the new Bill Gates,
in on the ground floor) but you never know.

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.

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.

With other programs, maybe you could but *why*? Surely you have other things

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 found in a search (online) a page with tutorials about money

is

| | |
| | | If I had a blank page from one, I could scan it, and possibly

| so

| | |

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 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).

you probably made a manual entry in a cell that had a formula in it.

| time. If I wait till I go on the computer I'll probably forget.
