Custom Check Printing

Problem

How to customize check printing blanks in MacNail accounting software to print according to user's specs
How to add co. name to check files if not already there.

Diagnosis

can add or delete rows, resize row heights, column widths, add text, change margins, reduction/enlarge, etc.
Whatever they do, must maintain a clean backup of the blank in case something goes wrong.

Solution

If they have to add or delete rows to the blank, they must adjust the defined name "row.count" by the number of rows added or deleted.
Blanks with more than one check or form per page may also have a defined name 'bogus.rows' that tells it which rows to delete from the bottom of the page.

This is quite involved, they have to experiment on their own to see what works- especially with all the different XL vsns and printer drivers.

This applies mainly to MacNail construction accounting software , but there are similar issues with other modules.

NOTE-- Goldenseal accounting software includes a Custom Layouts command, which is easier to use than formatting in Excel. You can use it to format printed forms, reports, or data entry layouts.
