is there a way to print a check register book?
"Rob Giordano (Crash)" wrote in message ... 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) "Carrie" wrote in message ... | | "JoAnn Paules" wrote in message | ... | 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. | | | | | JoAnn Paules | Microsoft MVP - Publisher | | How to ask a question | http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 | | | | "Carrie" wrote in message | ... | | "JoAnn Paules" wrote in message | ... | 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). | | | | -- | | JoAnn Paules | Microsoft MVP - Publisher | | How to ask a question | http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 | | | | "Rob Giordano (Crash)" wrote in | message ... | 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. | | | "Mary Sauer" wrote in message | ... | | My banking is online, I sort of keep track with Money 97.

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 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
