Making a Template for Writing Checks
Oh Jeezus Graham. It's true. You yanks really don't get irony or humour. I
WAS NOT ATTACKING SUZANNE for god's sake. I respect her knowledge too much for that. (I got HER joke, BTW). I was offering mcp6453 a suggestion as to how I might go about it myself and making a jocular point about time wasting on a computer and how Suzanne rarely misses a great answer to solve a problem if it can be done and .....oh forget it ..... An explanation would obviously be wasted on you. You would imagine insult where none was intended - so I'll just insult you directly. 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? Rather presumptuous of you. How do YOU know how many repetitive checks the poor guy has to write. Maybe mcp6453 has good reason for wanting them laser printed instead of ink written. Just address his issue, creatively, why don't you, instead of thinking for him or putting down his idea. Let him decide how he wants to use his life on the computer. There's a lot more anal people on this NG than mcp6453. If you really want to defend commonsense, why not just wait and let Jezabel have a go at him! ( Joke Graham. Joke Jezabel, in case you're watching ) "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ... 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.

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 "mcp6453" wrote in message ... 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? |
