Suzanne's point was not that it couldn't be done, but rather what
was the point. Computers are supposed to make your life easier not
more complicated. How much effort does it need to pick up the pen
that will be used to sign the cheque and add the payee's name and
amount? --

What about setting up page size to suit the check (or cheque as we
say here in Australia!), scan it and insert it as a background
image, then insert your type-in-data-fields over that image in the
correct positioning, then remove the background (or hide it) just
prior to printing?? But save it as a locked template with image
showing, and save each filled cheque as a separate file for archive.

Ahem, is this too simple, or did I miss something here? I am not
sure in this newsgroup if/when to speak up with my simplistic
ideas. Seeing something that stumps "The Great Susanne. S.
Barnhill" makes me wonder if it is therefore not possible at all

Using Word 2000, is it possible to make a template that has a
non-printable image of a check such that when I am typing in the
document, it looks like I'm filling out a check, but when I print,
only the newly entered information prints?
