Lighten up. It's Saturday, the weather's crap and a bit of light hearted
banter never hurt anyone.

Your main problem will be with the paper handling of your printer. If you
want to print cheques that tear out of a cheque book, you are likely to find
that many printers will not handle the paper size. If your printer can
manage it then the method suggested by our Aussie friend a while back will
do the job.

If the printer cannot manage it then neither Word nor Acrobat will help you.

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?

So it's clear that I'm not going to get any help on this matter here.
Rather than writing a discourse on why I want to do this, suffice it
to say that I have some other projects that, if I know a good way to
accomplish this task, I would then know how to accomplish those other
tasks. Yes, since I already have the pen in my hand, I could go ahead
and write the check. In fact, there is nothing that I write into my
computer that I cannot write with that same pen. (Actually, it would
be kind of hard to post to the newsgroup with a pen.)

Adobe Acrobat has functionality to facilitate this sort of task. I
know how to create the fill-in form, but I don't know how to hide the
background just before printing. So, I'm off to the Acrobat
newsgroups.
Thanks anyway. This newsgroup sure has changed.
